A real-world investigation into the benefits of transcranial direct current stimulation to the primary motor cortex on muscular performance in elite athletes
(Eine reale Untersuchung der Vorteile der transkraniellen Gleichstromstimulation des primären motorischen Cortex bei Spitzensportlern)
As interest in noninvasive brain stimulation grows, many potential users are seeking applications for the heightened learning state associated with this technology. One possible application is in sports, where stimu-lation has shown promising results in the form of increased training efficiency, improving both motor skills and raw power. In this study, athletes training for strengthand power-intensive sports received neurostimulation treatment in the form of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) from the Halo Neurostimulation System during their normal training routine. Athletes who received stimulation showed significantly greater improvement in their jumping ability compared to nonstimulation athletes. The current study demonstrates the ability of noninvasive brain stimulation to improve athletic performance; however, further testing with larger populations and sham controls is needed in the future.
