An influential book written by A. Mosso in the late nineteenth century proposed that fatigue
that “at first sight might appear an imperfection of our body, is on the contrary one of its most …

Physical exercise affects the equilibrium of the internal environment. During exercise the
contracting muscles generate force or power and heat. So physical exercise is in fact a form …

In exercise physiology, it has been traditionally assumed that high-intensity aerobic exercise
stops at the point commonly called exhaustion because fatigued subjects are no longer able …

The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is a recognized marker of intensity and of
homeostatic disturbance during exercise. It is typically monitored during exercise tests to …

The human capacity to perform prolonged exercise is impaired in hot environments. To
address this issue, a number of studies have investigated behavioral aspects of …

In pursuit of optimal performance, athletes and physical exercisers alike have to make
decisions about how and when to invest their energy. The process of pacing has been …

In 1923, Nobel Laureate AV Hill proposed that maximal exercise performance is limited by
the development of anaerobiosis in the exercising skeletal muscles. Variants of this theory …

Background The temporal and insular cortex (TC, IC) have been associated with autonomic
nervous system (ANS) control and the awareness of emotional feelings from the body …

We asked whether the central effects of fatiguing locomotor muscle fatigue exert an
inhibitory influence on central motor drive to regulate the total degree of peripheral fatigue …

This study tested the hypothesis that the increase in rating of perceived exertion (RPE)
predicts the duration of exercise to exhaustion during exercise in hot conditions. Seven …
