Abstract

Little is known about the long-lasting effects of illicit drug use on movement. This is concerning because i) the prevalence of illicit drug use is high in young adults, ii) illicit drugs act on neurons that are involved in movement, and iii) studies on neural control of movement do not tend to screen participants for history of illicit drug use. The general aim of this thesis was to investigate exercise-induced fatigue, and the underlying neural and muscular mechanisms, in adults with and without a history of cannabis and ecstasy use.
