abstract = {To test the hypothesis that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) influences performance in a 20-min time-trial self-paced
exercise and electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillatory brain activity in a group of trained
male cyclists. There were no differences (F = 0.31, p > 0.05) in power output between the stimulation conditions:
anodal (235W[95%CI 222–249 W]; cathodal (235W[95%CI 222–248 W] and sham (234W[95%CI 220–248 W]. Neither heart rate, sRPE nor EEG activity were affected
by tDCS (all Ps > 0.05). tDCS over the left DLFC did not affect self-paced exercise performance in trained cyclists.
Moreover, tDCS did not elicit any change on oscillatory brain activity either at baseline or
during exercise. Our data suggest that the effects of tDCS on endurance performance
should be taken with caution.},
