Conditions
Brief summary
This study aimed to investigate whether six weeks of tDCS combined with lower-limb resistance training could enhance motor learning in healthy young adults and examined the persistence of any observed benefits.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sequence Reaction Time Task | Motor learning was assessed at before intervention, after three and six weeks of intervention, and one week post-intervention. | In this task, a white circle appears above one of four horizontally arranged white squares on the computer screen with black background. Participans were instructed to press the proper button on the response pad (buttons H, J, K, L) using the corresponding finger of the right hand (index finger for button H, middle finger for button J, ring finger for button K, and small finger for button L) when the white circle appeared at the left side, middle-left side, middle-right side, or right side of the computer screen, respectively. Each session consists of eight blocks, with each block comprising 120 trials. |
