• Test–retest reliability of cortico-spinal measurements in the rectus femoris at different contraction levels 

  Gomez-Guerrero, Gonzalo; Avela, Janne; Enroth, Miro; Häkkinen, Ella; Ansdell, Paul; Howatson, Glyn; Walker, Simon (Frontiers Media SA, 2023)

  Single-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and, very recently, lumbar stimulation (LS) have been used to measure cortico-spinal excitability from various interventions using maximal or submaximal contractions in ...

• Contraction intensity modulates spinal excitability during transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked silent period in rectus femoris muscle 

  Gomez-Guerrero, Gonzalo; Ansdell, Paul; Howatson, Glyn; Avela, Janne; Walker, Simon (Springer, 2023)

  Purpose Reduced spinal excitability during the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) silent period (SP) has recently been shown to last longer than previously thought in the upper limbs, as assessed via spinal electrical ...

• Reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation and H-reflex measurement during balance perturbation tasks 

  Hu, Nijia; Avela, Janne; Kidgell, Dawson J.; Nevanperä, Samuli; Walker, Simon; Piirainen, Jarmo M. (Frontiers Media SA, 2022)

  Following ankle movement, posterior balance perturbation evokes short- (SLR ∼30–50 ms), medium- (MLR ∼50–60 ms), and long-latency responses (LLR ∼70–90 ms) in soleus muscle before voluntary muscle contraction. Transcranial ...

• Modulations of corticospinal excitability following rapid ankle dorsiflexion in skill- and endurance-trained athletes 

  Hu, Nijia; Avela, Janne; Kidgell, Dawson J.; Piirainen, Jarmo M.; Walker, Simon (Springer, 2022)

  Purpose Long-term sports training, such as skill and endurance training, leads to specific neuroplasticity. However, it remains unclear if muscle stretch-induced proprioceptive feedback influences corticospinal ...

• Isometric force-time parameters in monitoring of strength training : with special reference to acute responses to different loading resistances 

  Peltonen, Heikki (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)

  The aim of the present series of studies was to investigate acute neuromuscular responses to (1) different strength training loadings and using (2) different external resistances. In addition, chronic adaptations and ...
