    Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on central and peripheral fatigue in recreational runners. Design This is a clinical randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blind, crossover study. Twenty adult runners will be randomized on the first day of the intervention to receive active or sham tDCS before fatigue protocol. After 1 wk, the participants will receive the opposite therapy to the one that they received on the first day. The tDCS, 2 mA, will be applied for 20 mins over the motor cortex. The fatigue protocol will be performed after tDCS, in which the participant should perform concentric knee flexion/extension contractions until reaching three contractions at only 50% of maximum voluntary contraction. Central fatigue will be evaluated with the motor evoked potential of the quadriceps muscle; peripheral fatigue with the peak torque (N.m) using an isokinetic dynamometer; the electrical activity of the quadriceps muscle using surface electromyography (Hz); blood lactate level (mmol/L); and the subjective perception of effort (Borg scale). All evaluations will be repeated before and after the interventions. Conclusion This study will evaluate the effect of tDCS on fatigue in runners, possibly determining an application protocol for this population.
