Corticospinal excitability is altered similarly following concentric and eccentric maximal contractions.

Same-work maximal ECC and CON exercises induced similar fatigue level but from different origins (preferentially central for ECC vs peripheral for CON). Yet, net corticospinal excitability did not depend on contraction type.
