description: | Purpose The assessment of voluntary activation of the knee extensors using transcranial magnetic stimulation (VA TMS ) is routinely performed to assess the supraspinal function. Yet methodological scrutiny of the technique is scarce. The aim of the present study was to examine face validity and reliability of VA TMS and its two main determinants (superimposed twitch during a maximal voluntary contraction [SIT 100% ] and estimated resting twitch [ERT]). Methods SIT 100%, ERT, and VA TMS were measured on ten healthy males (age 24 ± 5 years) before and following intermittent isometric fatiguing exercise on two separate occasions. Results The findings indicated issues regarding the accuracy of ERT and suggested a three-point relationship should not be used to determine ERT. Reliabilities for VA TMS , SIT 100%, and ERT were acceptable pre- but much weaker post-exercise (especially for SIT 100% ). Despite statistically significant changes in main neuromuscular variables following the intermittent isometric fatiguing exercise ( P |
