To report the effect of the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the primary motor cortex (M1) of an individual, a sedentary male subject with complete chronic spinal cord injury at the T11-T12 levels.
The individual underwent three experimental sessions: control, sham and anodal tDCS. Before, during and after exercise sessions, the following variables were recorded: heart rate variability, Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), power and glucose (this one only before and after the exercise).
The anodal tDCS provided greater exercise time and power, lower perceived exertion, greater reduction in glucose, and an increase in time to reach the threshold of heart rate variability.
tDCS caused an improvement in the exercise tolerance, probably due to the modulation of the autonomic nervous system and the pain, characterized by reduced RPE.
报告经颅直流电刺激（tDCS）应用于 T11-T12 水平完全慢性脊髓损伤的久坐男性个体的初级运动皮层（M1）的效果。
个体接受了三个实验疗程：对照、假刺激和阳极 tDCS。在运动前后，记录以下变量：心率变异性、主观用力感觉等级（RPE）、功率和葡萄糖（仅在运动前后）。
阳极 tDCS 提供了更长的运动时间和更高的功率，更低的感知用力，更低的葡萄糖降低，以及达到心率变异性阈值的时间增加。
tDCS 提高了运动耐力，可能是由于自主神经系统和疼痛的调制，其特征是 RPE 降低。
