Summary of ANOVAs comparing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) recruitment curves immediately before and after an intervention within sessions 1, 5, and 10, respectively.Time main effect refers to the immediate effect of an intervention on motor-evoked potential (MEP) size collapsed across 8 stimulation intensities within sessions 1, 5, and 10, respectively. Time by stimulation intensity interaction refers to the comparison of MEP amplitudes measured at 8 intensities immediately before and after an intervention. Vol, voluntary contraction; Sham, sham TMS; rTMS, repetitive TMS. Significant P values are in bold.
