NMF evaluation before exercise (PRE) consisted of four parts in the following order: Part I: MVC and electrically evoked quadriceps responses; Part II: determination of the optimal TMS site; Part III: determination of the optimal TMS intensity; Part IV: maximal voluntary activation with TMS. NMF consisted in part I and IV only after the first (MID1), the second (MID2) and the third (POST) bout of cycling.
