Brief Summary
Healthy recreational athletes will undergo a session of anodal tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) or sham tDCS. The primary outcome is an isokinetic evaluation of their hamstrings' and quadriceps' strength before and after each session

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Isokinetic Peak Strength
Concentric and Eccentric Peak Strength is measured in hamstrings and quadriceps at 60°/s using an isokinetic dynamometer
Changes between prior to tDCS, immediately following tDCS and 30 minutes after tDCS
Isokinetic Work
Concentric and Eccentric Work is measured in hamstrings and quadriceps at 60°/s using an isokinetic dynamometer
Changes between prior to tDCS, immediately following tDCS and 30 minutes after tDCS
