Experimental design. QMVC: Quadriceps voluntary contractions at maximal (100% of QMVC) or submaximal (50 and 30% of QMVC) intensity. Superimposed and control doublets, maximal M-waves (Mmax), and maximal H-waves (Hmax) were delivered via electrical stimulation over the femoral nerve. Motor evoked potentials (MEP) were delivered over the motor cortex via transcranial magnetic stimulation
