• Internal and External Training Load: 15 Years On. (2019, neutral): “25 This knowledge may help to choose the most appropriate intervention to reduce fatigue, for example, a reduction in muscle-damaging exercise or better sleep hygiene.”
• High-Intensity Interval Training, Solutions to the Programming Puzzle (2013, background): “While the specific roles (or contributions) played by varying biological afferents and other neurocognitive processes involved with the selection of exercise pace based on effort are still debated (see viewpoint/counterpoint [73]), RPE responses may reflect ‘‘a conscious sensation of how hard, heavy”
• The Effects of Mental Fatigue on Physical Performance: A Systematic Review (2017, methodology): “[10] investigated for the first time in an experimentally controlled way the effect of mental fatigue on physical performance (whole-body endurance task).”
• Pupil size variations correlate with physical effort perception (2014, background): “Prolonged mental and physical efforts both induce fatigue (DeLuca, 2005; Marcora et al., 2008), and mental fatigue leads to decrements in physical performance (Marcora et al., 2009).”
• Strength Model of Self-Regulation as Limited Resource: Assessment, Controversies, Update (2016, background): “Marcora et al. (2009) showed that a demanding cognitive task produced subsequent impairments in a physical endurance (cycling) task, but no change on several measures of motivation.”
