From catastrophe to complexity: a novel model of integrative central neural regulation of effort and fatigue during exercise in humans: summary and conclusions
Key result
A novel model proposes that physical activity is controlled by a central governor in the brain, where fatigue is the conscious interpretation of homoeostatic control mechanisms during exercise.

Central neural regulation of effort and fatigue
Proposes a central governor model in the brain that regulates physical activity and fatigue through feed-forward control and afferent feedback.
Cite This Study
Noakes et al. (2005) conducted a review in Fatigue during exercise. A novel model proposes that physical activity is controlled by a central governor in the brain, where fatigue is the conscious interpretation of homoeostatic control mechanisms during exercise.
