Abstract
The evolutionary significance of fatigue
Highlights
The concept of fatigue has inspired a wide body of research since the earliest studies in muscular and exercise physiology (Noakes, 2012)
Some caution should be considered with the new technological advances in brain and muscle imaging as these could be performed under the same erroneous process. This consideration is very important given that new technologies are capable of possessing important methodological limitations under exercise conditions that may limit our understanding of fatigue. It seems that we will see a new era in fatigue research, the risk of elaborating on biased knowledge because of technology limitations should not be ignored
As a biological phenomenon, fatigue should not be excluded from the influence of natural selection
