简要总结
Healthy recreational and high level athletes will undergo 2 randomized, cross-over counterbalanced sessions of anodal tDCS or sham tDCS.
The primary outcome is an isokinetic evaluation of their hamstrings' and quadriceps' endurance after each session
详细描述
Recruitment :
Healthy recreational and high level athletes will be recruited through social media and advertisements.
Each subject came twice to the Liege University Hospitals' isokinetic lab. Each session began with strapping the subjet into the isokinetic machine, making sure that all the settings were adapted to the subject. Then, each subject received either anodal tDCS, of sham tDCS. Neither the evaluator or the subject knew which they were receiving. Immediately following tDCS, there was a warmup consisting of stationary bike, and an isokinetic warmup. Then, subjects' endurance was using a maximal isokinetic tests, at 30 maximal concentric and eccentric contractions at a speed of 180°/s.

研究组 & 干预措施
Anodal tDCS
Subjects will receive 20min anodal tDCS
干预措施: tDCS (Device)
Sham tDCS
Subjects will receive 20 minutes of Sham anodal tDCS
干预措施: tDCS (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Peak Strength
时间窗: Immediately after tDCS and sham
Peak strength (measured by the isokinetic machine) is measured after each of the 30 repetitions. Peak strength of the 30 repetitions will be measured, and how strength decreases throughout the test will be analysed
