A new @FabioZambolin study which demonstrated that exercising with a stretched and sore leg (activating mechano-nociceptors) reduces TTF and exacerbates central fatigue in the contralateral limb Another nice demonstration of the fatiguing effect of pain! https://t.co/SoQeHrYJbb

Increasing evidence suggests that activation of muscle nerve afferents may inhibit central motor drive, affecting contractile performance of remote exercising muscles. Although these effects are well...
