Values are means ± SD. MEPlat, motor-evoked potential latency elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation; CMCT, central motor conduction time. Tx column indicates within-group treatment effect across both time points; Time row indicates within-group pre- to postexercise effects across both treatments determined from RM ANOVA.
*
Significant within-group difference from TN condition at given time point, determined by post hoc analysis.
