However, it remains unclear whether combining tDCS with the post-activation effects of high-load resistance training can further improve lower limb performance. Objective: This study investigated the synergistic effects of tDCS and high-load resistance training, using electroencephalography to explore changes in the motor cortex and vertical jump dynamics. Methods: Four experiments were conducted involving 29 participants. Each experiment included tDCS, high-load resistance training, tDCS combined with high-load resistance training, and a control condition. During the tDCS session, participants received 20 min of central stimulation using a Halo Sport 2 headset, while the high-load resistance training session comprised five repetitions of a 90% one-repetition maximum weighted half squat. No intervention was administered in the control group. Electroencephalography tests were conducted before and after each intervention, along with the vertical jump test. Results: The combination of tDCS and high-load resistance training significantly increased jump height (p &lt; 0.05) compared to tDCS or high-load resistance training alone. As for electroencephalography power, tDCS combined with high-load resistance training significantly impacted the percentage of \u03b1-wave power in the frontal lobe area (F3) of the left hemisphere (F = 6.33, p &lt; 0.05). In the temporal lobe area (T3) of the left hemisphere, tDCS combined with high-load resistance training showed a significant interaction effect (F = 6.33, p &lt; 0.05). For \u03b2-wave power, tDCS showed a significant main effect in the frontal pole area (Fp1) of the left hemisphere (F = 17.65, p &lt; 0.01). In the frontal lobe area (F3) of the left hemisphere, tDCS combined with high-load resistance training showed a significant interaction effect (F = 7.53, p &lt; 0.05). The tDCS combined with high-load resistance training intervention also resulted in higher \u03b2-wave power in the parietal lobe area (P4) and the temporal lobe area (T4) (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: The findings suggest that combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and high-load resistance training significantly enhances vertical jump performance compared to either intervention alone. This improvement is associated with changes in the \u03b1-wave and \u03b2-wave power in specific brain regions, such as the frontal and temporal lobes. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms and long-term effects of this combined intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life14091106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]],"date-time":"2024-09-03T04:06:41Z","timestamp":1725336401000},"page":"1106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Acute Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Combined with High-Load Resistance Exercises on Repetitive Vertical Jump Performance and EEG Characteristics in Healthy Men"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yuping","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Strength and Conditioning Training, Beijing Sport University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Department of Public Education, Zhejiang College of Construction, Hangzhou 311231, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6048-6135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiting","family":"Zhai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Basic Sciences for Aviation, Naval Aviation University, Yantai 264001, China"},{"name":"School of Sports Coaching, Beijing Sport University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongwen","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Strength and Conditioning Training, Beijing Sport University, Beijing 100084, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory for Performance Training & Recovery of General Administration of Sport, Beijing Sport University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1699","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0b013e31826cad24","article-title":"A systematic review of the efficacy of ergogenic aids for improving running performance","volume":"27","author":"Schubert","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
