Abstract
Corollary discharges and fatigue-related symptoms: the role of attentional focus.
Highlights
Why do we stop? This question has intrigued researchers and exercise professionals worldwide (Noakes, 2000; Marcora, 2010; Amann et al, 2013)
Compelling evidence suggests that both peripheral changes and cortical activity create the sense of effort (Noakes, 2011)
The present piece of work aims to provide an update on the psychobiological model (Pageaux, 2014) based on the evidence that attentional focus manipulates exerciser’s consciousness with consequent effects on exertional responses and exercise performance (Lohse et al, 2010; Lohse and Sherwood, 2011)
Summary
This question has intrigued researchers and exercise professionals worldwide (Noakes, 2000; Marcora, 2010; Amann et al, 2013). Compelling evidence suggests that both peripheral changes and cortical activity create the sense of effort (Noakes, 2011). In such instance, the magnitude imposed by both cortical and peripheral changes will be determined in accord with the exercise mode and intensity. The present piece of work aims to provide an update on the psychobiological model (Pageaux, 2014) based on the evidence that attentional focus manipulates exerciser’s consciousness with consequent effects on exertional responses and exercise performance (Lohse et al, 2010; Lohse and Sherwood, 2011).
