Motor cortical excitability and inhibition are differentially modulated by aerobic exercise intensity Open
Acute aerobic exercise (AEX) enhances motor learning and promotes neuroplasticity. Although previous studies examined the impact of AEX on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability, the dose–response relationship across a broad intensity spec…

Physical exercise and motor learning: A scoping review Open
Physical exercise, as an adjunct to motor task practice, can enhance motor learning by inducing neurophysiological changes known to facilitate this process. This preregistered scoping review mapped current knowledge on physical exercise’s …

Eccentric cycling enhances primary motor cortex excitability Open
Acute aerobic exercise (AAE) can modulate primary motor cortex (M1) excitability. To date, studies evaluating the effects of AAE on M1 excitability have focused almost exclusively on concentric cycling. Interestingly, eccentric cycling inc…

Eccentric cycling improves motor learning more than concentric cycling Open
An acute bout of aerobic exercise (AAE) performed before practicing a motor task can enhance skill acquisition and motor learning. To date, research on the effects of AAE on motor learning has focused exclusively on concentric cycling, lea…

Effects of boxing exercise in people with Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review Open
Objective Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive changes in both motor and non-motor symptoms. Boxing exercise can improve PD symptoms. This review aimed to determine the effects of bo…

Motor cortical circuits are uniquely impacted by different exercise intensities Open
Acute aerobic exercise (AEX) can enhance motor learning and promote neuroplasticity. However, the effect of AEX intensity on primary motor cortex (M1) excitability has not been systematically examined. Hence, the dose-response relationship…

Relationship between Hand-Eye Coordination and Hand Grip Strength in Elite Taekwondo Athletes Open
Hand-Eye Coordination (HEC) and Hand Grip Strength (HGS) are among the most important skills in Taekwondo. On a technical level, HEC reflects neuromuscular coordination ability which enables quick responses, and HGS reflects muscle strengt…

Neurophysiological effects of acute aerobic exercise in young adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Evidence continues to accumulate that acute aerobic exercise (AAE) impacts neurophysiological excitability as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Yet, uncertainty exists about which TMS measures are modulated after AAE in …
View article: Effects of Functional Strength Training Combined with Aerobic Training on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Movement Quality in Obese Adolescents
Effects of Functional Strength Training Combined with Aerobic Training on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Movement Quality in Obese Adolescents Open
This study aimed to compare the effects of 12 weeks of functional strength training combined with aerobic training (TG) and traditional resistance training combined with aerobic training (CG) on the body composition, physical fitness, and …

NMR metabolomics study of chronic low‐dose exposure to a cocktail of persistent organic pollutants Open
Nowadays, exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including persistent organic pollutants (POPs), is one of the most critical threats to public health. EDCs are chemicals that mimic, block, or interfere with hormones in the body…
