Article Synopsis
- Prior research indicates that resistance exercise may enhance motor learning through specific brain responses, but mostly focused on the upper limbs.
- This study aimed to explore these responses after lower limb exercises, using tasks such as a visuomotor force tracking task and knee extensions, while measuring neurological responses with advanced techniques.
- Key findings showed that lower limb motor skill training improved corticospinal excitability significantly more than resistance training and control tasks, suggesting that tailored training could be beneficial for neurorehabilitation practices.
