The corticospinal responses to high-intensity and low-intensity strength-training of the upper limb are modulated in an intensity-dependent manner. Whether an intensity-dependent threshold occurs following acute strength training of the knee extensors (KE) remains unclear. We assessed the corticospinal responses following high-intensity (85% of maximal strength) or low-intensity (30% of maximal strength) KE strength-training with measures taken during an isometric KE task at baseline, post-5, 30 and 60-min. Twenty-eight volunteers (23 ± 3 years) were randomized to high-intensity (n = 11), low-intensity (n = 10) or to a control group (n = 7). Corticospinal responses were evoked with transcranial magnetic stimulation at intracortical and corticospinal levels. High- or low-intensity KE strength-training had no effect on maximum voluntary contraction force post-exercise (P > 0.05). High-intensity training increased corticospinal excitability (range 130–180%) from 5 to 60 min post-exercise compared to low-intensity training (17–30% increase). Large effect sizes (ES) showed that short-interval cortical inhibition (SICI) was reduced only for the high-intensity training group from 5–60 min post-exercise (24–44% decrease) compared to low-intensity (ES ranges 1–1.3). These findings show a training-intensity threshold is required to adjust CSE and SICI following strength training in the lower limb. peerReviewed |
