Primary Motor Cortex Excitability in Karate Athletes: A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study

Primary Motor Cortex Excitability in Karate Athletes: A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study

Purpose: The mechanisms involved in the coordination of muscle activity are not completely known: to investigate adaptive changes in human motor cortex Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was often used. The sport models are frequently used to study how the training may affect the corticospinal...
