A systematic review and meta-analysis on neural adaptations following blood flow restriction training: what we know and what we don’t know

Centner, Christoph ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: Frontiers in Physiology, 2020, vol. 11, p. -

Objective: To summarize the existing evidence on the long-term effects of low-load (LL) blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise on neural markers including both central and peripheral adaptations.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. The literature search was performed independently by two reviewers in the following electronic databases:...

Freely chosen cadence during cycling attenuates intracortical inhibition and increases intracortical facilitation compared to a similar fixed cadence

K.Sidhu, Simranjit ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: Neuroscience, 2020, vol. 441, p. 93–101

In contrast to other rhythmic tasks such as running, the preferred movement rate in cycling does not minimize energy consumption. It is possible that neurophysiological mechanisms contribute to the choice of cadence, however this phenomenon is not well understood. Eleven participants cycled at a fixed workload of 125 W and different cadences including a freely chosen cadence (FCC, ∼72),...

Training‐, muscle‐ and task‐specific up‐ and downregulation of cortical inhibitory processes

Taube, Wolfgang ; Gollhofer, Albert ; Lauber, Benedikt

In: European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020, vol. 51, no. 6, p. 1428–1440

Motor cortical contribution was shown to be important for balance control and for ballistic types of movements. However, little is known about the role of cortical inhibitory mechanisms and even less about long(er)‐term adaptations of these inhibitory processes. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of intracortical inhibition before and after four weeks of ...

Augmented-feedback training improves cognitive motor performance of soccer players

Hicheur, Halim ; Chauvin, Alan ; Cavin, Vincent ; Fuchslocher, Joerg ; Tschopp, Markus ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2020, vol. 52, no. 1, p. 141–152

Purpose In this study, we tested the hypothesis that augmented feedback (AF) training can improve both perceptual–cognitive and/or motor skills specific to soccer.Methods Three groups of young elite players (U14–U15 categories) performed a test consisting in passing the ball as accurately and as quickly as possible toward a visual target moving briefly across a large screen located at 6 m...

Preconditioning cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation facilitates the neuroplastic effect of subsequent anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied during cycling in young adults

Pourmajidian, Maryam ; Lauber, Benedikt ; Sidhu, Simranjit K

In: Neuroscience Letters, 2020, vol. 714, p. 134597

The study aimed to examine the effect of a pre-conditioning cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) before subsequent anodal-tDCS (atDCS) was applied during low workload cycling exercise on the corticospinal responses in young healthy individuals. Eleven young subjects participated in two sessions receiving either conditioning ctDCS or sham stimulation, followed by atDCS...

Stimulus reward value interacts with training-induced plasticity in inhibitory control

Pretto, Michael De ; Hartmann, Lea ; Garcia-Burgos, David ; Sallard, Etienne ; Spierer, Lucas

In: Neuroscience, 2019, vol. 421, p. 82–94

Training inhibitory control, the ability to suppress motor or cognitive processes, not only enhances inhibition processes, but also reduces the perceived value and behaviors toward the stimuli associated with the inhibition goals during the practice. While these findings suggest that inhibitory control training interacts with the aversive and reward systems, the underlying spatio-temporal...

Changes in spinal and corticospinal excitability in patients with chronic ankle instability: a systematic review with meta-analysis

Kim, Kyung-Min ; Kim, Joo-Sung ; Cruz-Díaz, David ; Ryu, Seungho ; Kang, Minsoo ; Taube, Wolfgang

In: Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019, vol. 8, no. 7, p. 1037

The objective of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to determine alterations in spinal and corticospinal excitability of ankle muscles in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) compared to uninjured controls. Independent researchers performed comprehensive literature searches of electronic databases and included studies that compared groups with and without CAI and...
