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 understudied cortical/subcortical adaptations, particularly cortico-reticulospinal tract responses, comparing healthy strength-trained adults to untrained peers. Fifteen chronically strength-trained individuals (≥2 years of training, mean age: 24 ± 7 years) were compared with 11 age-matched untrained participants (mean age:26 ± 8 years). Assessments included maximal voluntary force (MVF), corticospinal excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), spinal excitability (cervicomedullary stimulation), voluntary activation (VA) and reticulospinaltract (RST) excitability, utilizing Start React responses and ipsilateral motor-evoked potentials (iMEPs) for the flexor carpi radialis muscle. Trained participants had higher normalized MVF (6.4 ± 1.1 N/kg) than the untrained participants (4.8 ± 1.3 N/kg) (p=.003). Intracortical facilitation was higher in the strength-trained group (156 ± 49%) (p=.02), along with greater VA (98± 3.2%) (p=.002). The strength-trained group displayed reduced short-interval-intracortical inhibition (88 ± 8.0%) compared with the untrained group (69 ± 17.5%) (p< .001). Strength-trained individuals exhibited a greater normalized rate of force development (38.8 ± 10.1 Ns1/kg) (p< .009), greater reticulospinal gain (2.5 ± 1.4) (p=.02) and higher ipsilateral-to-contralateral MEPratios compared with the untrained group (p=.03). Strength-trained individuals displayed greater excitability within the intrinsic connections of the primary motor cortex and the RST. These results suggest greater synaptic input from the descending cortico-reticulospinal tract toα-motoneurons in strength-trained individuals, thereby contributing to the observed increase in VA and MVF.

Mechanisms of action of caffeine in a non-fatigued state and during fatiguing exercise : responders versus non-responders
Mesquita, Ricardo N. O. (2017)Several studies have documented the ergogenic effects of caffeine, but its mechanisms of action are not fully understood yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms that may explain any ... -

Corticospinal Adaptation to Short-Term Horizontal Balance Perturbation Training
Hu, Nijia; Piirainen, Jarmo M.; Kidgell, Dawson J.; Walker, Simon; Avela, Janne (MDPI AG, 2023)Sensorimotor training and strength training can improve balance control. Currently, little is known about how repeated balance perturbation training affects balance performance and its neural mechanisms. This study ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
