SMV at 30 Hz was applied to the hamstrings, gastrocnemius, and soleus muscles for 5 min. Paired-pulse protocols were used to investigate motor-evoked potentials (i.e., test MEP), short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and short-interval intracortical facilitation (SICF) from the abductor hallucis muscle (AbdH). These assessments were compared to the results of a control experiment (i.e., non-vibration) in the same participants. F-waves were evaluated from the AbdH on the right (vibration side) and left (non-vibration side) sides, and we calculated the ratio of the F-wave amplitude to the M-response amplitude (F/M ratio). These assessments were obtained before, immediately after, and 10, 20, and 30 min after SMV. No change was observed immediately after SMV, but there was a significant decrease in SICI over time (before vs. 30 min after, p = 0.021; immediately after vs. 30 min after, p = 0.015). There were no significant changes in test MEP, SICF, or the F/M ratio. SMV might cause a decrease in SICI over time in the AbdH of healthy subjects.
