Physical Activity Modulates Corticospinal Excitability of the Lower Limb in Young and Old Adults [PDF]
, 2017 Aging is associated with reduced neuromuscular function, which may be due in part to altered corticospinal excitability. Regular physical activity (PA) may ameliorate these age-related declines, but the influence of PA on corticospinal excitability is ...
