Why the study?
There was no general overview summarizing how prefrontal cortex oxygenation evolves during whole-body endurance performance and whether it is a determining factor.

PFC oxygenation rises to RCP then declines at higher intensities; confirms a cerebral oxygenation threshold transferable to constant-load endurance tasks.
How does prefrontal cortex oxygenation evolve during whole-body endurance performance in healthy adults?
Prefrontal cortex oxygenation increases during low-to-vigorous endurance exercise but declines at near-maximal intensities, suggesting a cerebral oxygenation threshold that may limit performance.
