Active tDCS
Active tDCS: A 1x1 Low-intensity DC Stimulator will be used to deliver direct current through rubber electrodes in saline soaked sponges. The anode will be placed over the left primary motor cortex (M1) while the cathode will be placed over the contralateral supra-orbital area. 20 minutes of tDCS will be applied.
Active Exercise
Participants will walk briskly in a treadmill (as to keep at 60-70% maximum heart rate) for 30 minutes
Sham tDCS
Active tDCS: A 1x1 Low-intensity DC Stimulator will be used to deliver direct current through rubber electrodes in saline soaked sponges. The anode will be placed over the left primary motor cortex (M1) while the cathode will be placed over the contralateral supra-orbital area. Only 30 seconds of current will be applied for the sham condition.
Sham Exercise
Participants will walk in a treadmill (as to keep at 10% within their baseline heart rate) for 30 minutes.
