Clinical Trial: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Promotes Punching and Movement Speed in Elite Male Boxers

U.S., Oct. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07862166) titled 'Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Promotes Punching and Movement Speed in Elite Male Boxers' on Oct. 02.

Brief Summary: This study investigates whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a safe and non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can improve punching and movement speed in elite male boxers. Twenty-four elite male boxers will receive 2 mA tDCS over either the primary motor cortex (M1), the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), or sham stimulation for 20 minutes, in a randomized, counterbalanced order. Punching speed and movement speed will be assessed before and at three time points after stimulation (im...
