Resumo
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a high-intensity martial art whose primary goal is to submit your opponent using joint locks or chokeholds. Investigating different strategies to improve muscular strength and endurance is of primary concern for BJJ practitioners. In the past, Anodic transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to improve physical performance. However, the effects of tDCS on isometric contraction in BJJ athletes are not known. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the acute effect of tDCS on handgrip strength in elite BJJ athletes.
