Data are presented as the mean ± standard error. Sol H-reflex and M wave amplitude values were calculated as the mean ± standard error of the peak-to-peak values of the amplitude of each waveform. This value represents H-reflex/Mmax × 100. Data were analyzed by comparing the H-reflex amplitude value of the single condition (divided by Mmax) vs. the H-reflex amplitude value (divided by Mmax) for each of the two CT-interval conditions (2 and 20 ms). CT-interval, conditioning stimulation-test stimulation interval; Mmax, maximum M wave amplitude
