The use of smokeless tobacco/nicotine products is common among athletes, but clear evidence for their positive or negative effect on sports performance is lacking. Nicotine is a psychoactive substance involved in numerous neuronal processes including cortical excitability. The aim of this study was to evaluate its effect on cortical excitability associated with aerobic exercise in nicotine-naive healthy volunteers.

Abstract
The use of smokeless tobacco/nicotine products is common among athletes, but clear evidence for their positive or negative effect on sports performance is lacking. Nicotine is a psychoactive substance involved in numerous neuronal processes including cortical excitability. The aim of this study was to evaluate its effect on cortical excitability associated with aerobic exercise in nicotine-naive healthy volunteers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
