Hypothesis-generating for central fatigue mechanisms; prospective trials combining electrophysiology and imaging needed before clinical consideration.
This review highlights that exercise in the heat alters electrocortical activity and that manipulating brain dopamine can delay fatigue, pointing to future research combining brain imaging with electrophysiology.
Roelands et al. (2015) conducted a review in Fatigue during prolonged exercise. Exercise in the heat and neurotransmitter manipulation was evaluated. Exercise at high intensity or in the heat reduces electrocortical β activity, and manipulating brain dopamine concentration has the potential to delay fatigue.
