Thirteen trained basketball players were divided into the tDCS trial and sham trial by the random crossover design. The tDCS trial was stimulated with 2-mA current in the M1 area in the middle of the top of the head for 20 min. For the sham trial, the current was turned off after 5 s, stopping the electrical stimulation. After warming up, the players underwent countermovement jump test, weighted countermovement jump test and then performed 40 \u00d7 15-m sprints with with a 1:4 exercise: rest ratio. The jump height, sprinting time, fatigue index, heart rate and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were analyzed by paired-sample t-test, when significance was discovered by two-way repeated measures analysis of variance. The study results revealed that the tDCS trial significantly increase the countermovement jump performance (p = 0.04), decrease the sprinting time (p = 0.016), and had improved fatigue index during the sprinting process (p = 0.009). However, the heart rate and RPE during sprinting were nonsignificantly different between the trials. This study has identified that tDCS can decrease the speed decline, fatigue index during sprinting and increase countermovement jump performance without affecting heart rate or the rating of perceived exertion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18136967","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,29]],"date-time":"2021-06-29T10:52:46Z","timestamp":1624963966000},"page":"6967","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Decreases the Decline of Speed during Repeated Sprinting in Basketball Athletes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Che-Hsiu","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Performance, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Chun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ren-Shiang","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lok-Yin","family":"Lo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Department of Exercise Health Science, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6234-3768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"I-Lin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physical Education, Hubei Normal University, Huangshi 435002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Hui","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Department of Exercise Health Science, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung 404, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2014.00253","article-title":"Transcranial direct current stimulation of the primary motor cortex improves word-retrieval in older adults","volume":"6","author":"Meinzer","year":"2014","journal-title":"Front.
