No difference was observed between the groups for peak torque (p = 0.70; 95% CI ± 1.11; d = 0.18). Figure Peak torque (Nm) pre and post 5000 m of running and tDCS with 2 mA intensity; ANODAL (n = 9) and SHAM (n = 9). All values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. p = 0.70.Peak torque (Nm) pre and post 5000 m of running and tDCS with 2 mA intensity, the individual values; ANODAL (n = 9) and SHAM (n = 9).The Anodal group showed a decrease in running time (p = 0.02; 95% CI 0.11–2.32; d = 1.24) on the 5000 m course compared to the Sham group. The absolute difference identified was 69 s. Figure Total time of the 5000 m run. ANODAL (n = 9) and SHAM (n = 9). Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. *p = 0.02.Average speed achieved.
