Prior exercise has previously been shown to impair subsequent endurance performance in
non‐activated muscles. Declines in the neuromuscular function and altered …

Mental exertion is known to impair endurance performance, but its effects on neuromuscular
function remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that prolonged mental exertion i)
reduces maximal muscle activation and ii) increases the extent of central fatigue induced by …

Endurance performance involves the prolonged maintenance of constant or self-regulated
power/velocity or torque/force. While the impact of numerous determinants of endurance …

Traditionally it has been assumed that highly motivated people terminate endurance
exercise because of muscle fatigue or, more recently, because of the subconscious action of …

Muscle fatigue is a reduction in the capacity to exert force and may involve a “central”
component originating in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here we examined whether …

Although mentally fatiguing cognitive tasks can impair subsequent physical endurance, the
importance of cognitive task duration and the role of response inhibition remain unclear …

With muscular training, the central nervous system may regulate motor unit firing rates to
sustain force output and delay fatigue. The aims of this study were to investigate motor unit …

This study sought to determine whether afferent feedback associated with peripheral muscle
fatigue inhibits central motor drive (CMD) and thereby limits endurance exercise …

This study examined the effects of prior upper body exercise on subsequent high-intensity
cycling exercise tolerance and associated changes in neuromuscular function and …
