Resumo
[Abstract]: The present systematic review aimed to determine the chronic effects of the combination of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and exercise on motor function and performance outcomes. We performed a systematic literature review in the databases MEDLINE and Web of Science. Only randomized control trials that measured the chronic effect of combining exercise (comprising gross motor tasks) with tDCS during at least five sessions and measured any type of motor function or performance outcome were included. A total of 22 interventions met the inclusion
criteria. Only outcomes related to motor function or performance were collected. Studies were
divided into three groups: (a) healthy population (n = 4), (b) neurological disorder population
(n = 14), and (c) musculoskeletal disorder population (n = 4). The studies exhibited considerable
variability in terms of tDCS protocols, exercise programs, and outcome measures. Chronic use of
tDCS in combination with strength training does not enhance motor function in healthy adults. In
neurological disorders, the results suggest no additive effect if the exercise program includes the
movements pretending to be improved (i.e., tested). However, although evidence is scarce, tDCS
may enhance exercise-induced adaptations in musculoskeletal conditions characterized by pain as a limiting factor of motor function.
