Abstract

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced muscle relaxation reflects intrinsic muscle contractile properties by interrupting the drive from the central nervous system during voluntary muscle contractions. We showed that fiber type I proportional area influences the TMS-induced muscle relaxation, suggesting that TMS could be used for the noninvasive estimation of muscle relaxation in unfatigued and fatigued human muscles when the feasibility of more direct method to study relaxation properties (i.e., muscle biopsy) is restricted.
