Prior exercise has previously been shown to impair subsequent endurance performance in non-activated muscles. Declines in the neuromuscular function and altered perceptual/affective responses offer possible mechanisms through which endurance performance may be limited in these remote muscle groups. We thus conducted two experiments to better unders...

Introduction: The development of fatigue has previously been associated with increased subjective effort costs and altered cost/benefit decision-making. However, whether fatigue-associated changes are reflective of a global aversion to effort remains unclear. Methods: To investigate this, we examined whether effort-based decisions, relating to phys...

Performance of a cognitively demanding task has previously been reported to impair subsequent physical endurance performance, an effect attributed to sensory processes influencing the perceived effort required to maintain performance. However, there is uncertainty regarding the robustness of these performance effects and their putative mechanisms....

Fatigue is a common experience in both health and disease. Yet, pathological (i.e., prolonged or chronic) and transient (i.e., exertional) fatigue symptoms are traditionally considered distinct, compounding a separation between interested research fields within the study of fatigue. Within the clinical neurosciences, nascent frameworks position pat...

Background The subjective experience of fatigue impairs an individual’s ability to sustain physical endurance performance. However, precise understanding of the specific role perceived fatigue plays in the central regulation of performance remains unclear. Here, we examined whether the subjective intensity of a perceived state of fatigue, pre-induc...

Purpose: To test the accuracy, validity, reliability and sensitivity of an alternative method for the measure of TMS-assessed voluntary activation (VATMS) in the knee extensors. Methods: Ten healthy males (24 ± 5 years) completed a neuromuscular assessment protocol before and after a fatiguing isometric exercise: two sets of five contractions (5...

Purpose The assessment of voluntary activation of the knee extensors using transcranial magnetic stimulation (VATMS) is routinely performed to assess the supraspinal function. Yet methodological scrutiny of the technique is scarce. The aim of the present study was to examine face validity and reliability of VATMS and its two main determinants (supe...
