Why the study?
Combined cognitive and physical training improves endurance performance, but the isolated contribution of cognitive training had not yet been determined.
Does separate cognitive training improve endurance exercise performance?
Does separate cognitive training improve endurance exercise performance?
Separate cognitive training does not improve exercise endurance performance, suggesting combined physical and cognitive training is necessary for performance enhancement.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Isolated cognitive training confers no endurance advantage now; challenges standalone mental strategies and leaves combined physical-cognitive protocols required.
Dallaway et al. (2025) studied this question.
