Corticospinal excitability is higher during synchronous vs asynchronous arm cycling

Key Points

• Higher corticospinal excitability was observed during synchronous arm cycling compared to asynchronous cycling, emphasizing the role of motor coordination.
• Neurophysiological measurements indicated a significant increase in corticospinal excitability, revealing a potential mechanism for improved motor performance.
• This observational analysis assessed motor control dynamics during both synchronous and asynchronous arm cycling exercises.
• The findings may enable better rehabilitation strategies for improving motor functions in conditions affecting coordination.
