Functional magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography of neuro-physiological adaptations associated with cross-education of a complex strength task

Cross-education of strength is a neural adaptation defined as the increase in strength of the untrained contralateral limb after unilateral training of the opposite homologous limb. The neural mechanisms of the effect have remained elusive, although it appears to be a motor learning adaptation. Desp...
