Results of experiment 1. (A) Representative MEP traces in the ES obtained from a control participant (black traces) and a participant with SCI (grey traces) at baseline, and at 10-, 20-, and 30-min post arm cycling exercise. (B) Group mean results showing ES MEP at 10-min (control [C] = 15; SCI = 12), 20-min (C = 15; SCI = 10), and 30-min (C = 15; SCI = 10) after the arm cycling. (C) Individual data demonstrating that most participants with SCI show ES MEP amplitudes above the baseline and the facilitation is decreased along the course of time. The abscissa shows the time point and the horizontal dashed line indicates the ES MEP size at baseline. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. *p < 0.05, comparisons with baseline; #p < 0.05 between groups.
