What is the central question of this study? How do H‐reflex and V‐wave excitability compare between men and women engaging in similar levels of physical activity? What is the main finding and its importance? H‐reflex excitability is lower in women than in men because of their greater level of antagonist co‐activation during sustained plantar flexion isometric exercise. In addition, supraspinal drive is similar between men and women independently of their differences in H‐reflex excitability and antagonist muscle co‐activation.
