Endurance performance involves the prolonged maintenance of constant or self-regulated power/velocity or torque/force. While the impact of numerous determinants of endurance performance has been previously reviewed, the impact of fatigue on subsequent endurance performance still needs to be documented. This review aims to present the impact of fatigue induced by physical or mental exertion on s...

INTRODUCTION Mental exertion is a psychophysiological state caused by sustained and prolonged cognitive activity. The understanding of the possible effects of acute mental exertion on physical performance, and their physiological and psychological responses are of great importance for the performance of different occupations, such as military, construction workers, athletes (professional or rec...

Objective. We investigated whether perceived exertion, in comparison to the physiological response to exercise, was associated with self-reported vitality, mental health, and physical function during daily activities, or weight control behaviors. Design. Weight-reduced, formerly overweight women (n = 126, aged 22-46 years), completed health and dietary control questionnaires, and underwent a tr...

Extreme physical exertion (work to failure) was simulated in untrained mini pigs. The results of complete blood tests, lactate measurements and clinical urine analysis revealed variations the basic parameters animals similar those observed people after extreme exertion.

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate rhythm of music on perceived exertion and heart rate during different intensities of endurance training in young male athletes. 10 male athletic students (mean + sd age 21.6±2.60 years) were voluntarily selected. the present study was conducted in a crossover design with and without music. the results showed no significant differen...

CONTEXT Vigorous physical exertion transiently increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI), but little is known about the clinical characteristics of exertion-related MI. OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical and angiographic characteristics of patients who had an exertion-related acute MI vs those who experienced an MI not related to exertion. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective observat...
