May support recovery planning in ultra-endurance athletes; extends observational data on equivalent limb effects but remains hypothesis-generating.
Does 96-125 hours of competitive exercise and sleep deprivation affect cognitive and physical performance in athletes?
Sustained competitive exercise and sleep deprivation modestly impact functional performance and similarly affect upper and lower limbs, while moderate-intensity exercise may aid complex decision making.
Lucas et al. (2009) studied this question.
