Ageing-related alterations in neuromuscular system was the main interest in the current study. Muscle strength decrement may be one of the most evident changes. The impairment in strength through aging may lead to functional impairments, such as falling. In order to prevent functional loss, performing strength training has been reported to be one of the effective ways to preserve or even improve muscular strength. Except for the muscular system, the nervous system may contribute to strength gain as well. The current study aimed to compare the difference in corticospinal excitability and inhibition following resistance training and detraining between young and older adults.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation was the main methodology used and corticospinal tract was the targeted tract in the present study. Accompanied with surface electromyography, right rectus femoris muscle contractions in response to the transcranial stimulation was recorded. Under the same stimulation intensity and condition, the study assessed corticospinal excitability and inhibition mechanism differences following the resistance training and detraining period. In addition, both static and dynamic muscle strength tests were involved as performance indicators following the training and detraining period.
The main findings of the study implied a significant muscle strength change following resistance training and detraining without evident neural adaptations in both young and older adults. The dynamic muscle strength change was more prominent than the change in the static muscle strength in both young and older adults, which may be associated with the training specific effects. Therefore, the study supports the effects of resistance training on both young and older adults.

Effects of two different taper models after strength training on corticospinal excitability and muscle strength
Virtanen, Minttu (2018)Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate if there are (1) differences between the effects of two taper models on strength performance, (2) changes in corticospinal excitability and inhibition as the effect of 8 week ... -
Priming the Motor Cortex With Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Affects the Acute Inhibitory Corticospinal Responses to Strength Training
Frazer, Ashlyn; Howatson, Glyn; Ahtiainen, Juha; Avela, Janne; Rantalainen, Timo; Kidgell, Dawson (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins; National Strength and Conditioning Association, 2019)Synaptic plasticity in the motor cortex (M1) is associated with strength training (ST) and can be modified by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The M1 responses to ST increase when anodal tDCS is applied ... -
Strength‐trained adults demonstrate greater corticoreticular activation versus untrained controls
Akalu, Yonas; Tallent, Jamie; Frazer, Ashlyn K.; Siddique, Ummatul; Rostami, Mohamad; Vallance, Patrick; Howatson, Glyn; Walker, Simon; Kidgell, Dawson J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)The rapid increase in strength following strength-training involves neural adaptations, however, their specific localisation remains elusive. Prior focus on corticospinal responses prompts this study to explore the ... -
Transcranial direct current stimulation effects on cortical excitability and learning during a dorsiflexion motor task
Gomez-Guerrero, Gonzalo (2019)Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a method that could induce changes on the corticospinal excitability and enhanced motor learning. Nevertheless, research on the topic still ongoing due to the great variability ... -
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 ...
