It is well-established that the human nervous system is able to modify its functions in response to activity or experience. This response has been termed ‘neuroplasticity’ and involves the reorganisation of neural circuits that control human movement. Recent evidence suggests that the primary motor cortex (M1) can experience neuroplasticity following various types of physical activity. Although neuroplasticity can be stimulated in a variety of ways, recently, it has been reported following exercise, injury and during periods of rehabilitation. This book introduces the key concepts that underpin human motor control and its application to exercise science and rehabilitation. The topics covered here integrate research, theory and the clinical applications of exercise neuroscience that will support students, researchers and clinicians to understand how the nervous system responds, or adapts, to physical activity, training, rehabilitation and disease. The book uses a mix of neuromuscular physiology, electrophysiology and muscle physiology to provide a synthesis of current knowledge and research in the field of exercise neuroscience that specifically examines the effects of exercise training, injury and rehabilitation of the human nervous system. This is the first textbook of its kind that describes the neurological benefits of exercise, and will be a highly valuable text for undergraduate students studying exercise science, exercise physiology and physiotherapy.

Dr Dawson J. Kidgell is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physiotherapy at Monash University, Australia, where he is also the Course Coordinator for the Graduate Diploma of Health Sciences Research. His research focuses on the neurophysiology of exercise, and he specialises in the technique of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which is a non-invasive method of measuring the functional properties (neuroplasticity) of the human brain, in particular the primary motor cortex. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed journal papers focusing on the effects of exercise and non-invasive brain stimulation on modulating neuroplasticity in humans, and has received in excess of 2.5 million dollars in research funding to support his research. Dr Alan J. Pearce PhD, is an Associate Professor in the School of Allied Health at La Trobe University, Australia, having previously served as Adjunct Senior Research Fellow in the Melbourne School of Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne from 2011 to 2016. His primary research focus is on sports-related concussion, with a specific interest in the use of brain physiology to quantify cognitive and motor impairments in the acute phase post-concussion, and chronic manifestations of repeated concussions associated with mental health and neurological impairment. He also investigates neuroplastic changes following peripheral injury, balance disorders, exercise interventions and rehabilitation.
