Test–retest reliability of TMS motor evoked responses and silent periods during explosive voluntary isometric contractions
Test-retest reliability of TMS responses is comparable between phases of explosive contraction and at the plateau of MVC. To maximise reliability of MEPs during explosive contractions or MVCs, we recommend future studies average data across more than the 3-5 contractions typically reported in the literature investigating MEPs at MVC plateau.
