Corticomotor excitability is increased following an acute bout of blood flow restriction resistance exercise.

We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate whether an acute bout of resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) stimulated changes in corticomotor excitability (motor evoked potential; MEP) and short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), and compared the responses t...
