During exercise, there is a progressive reduction in the ability to produce muscle forces.
Processes within the nervous system, as well as within the muscles contribute to this fatigue …

Performance fatigability is characterized as an acute decline in motor performance caused
by an exercise-induced reduction in force or power of the involved muscles. Multiple …

It has been shown that the mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation increases
perception of effort and reduces performance during subsequent endurance exercise …

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 …

From a gym workout, to deciding whether to persevere at work, many activities require us to
persist in deciding that rewards are 'worth the effort'even as we become fatigued. However …

BACKGROUND: In spite of ongoing prevention developments, anterior cruciate ligament
injury rates and the associated sex-disparity have remained, suggesting an incomplete …

Fatigue, defined as difficulty in initiating or sustaining voluntary activities, can be classified
as physical or mental, and physical fatigue can be classified as peripheral or central (spinal …

The assessment of physiological changes associated with brain activity has become
possible by optical methods, such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). NIRS is a useful …

The perception of physical effort is relatively unaffected by the suppression of sensory
afferences, indicating that this function relies mostly on the processing of the central motor …

Background: The debilitating fatigue that patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) commonly
experience during day-to-day living activities responds poorly to current therapeutic options …
