Key result
A 15-minute exercise break during 2-hour simulated driving reduced fatigue scores and altered physiological parameters compared to continuous driving.
Why the study?
Does a 15-min lower body exercise break improve physiological parameters and reduce fatigue during 120-min simulated driving?

May warrant testing exercise breaks for driver fatigue; leaves open real-world translation and safety impact.
Does a 15-min lower body exercise break improve physiological parameters and reduce fatigue during 120-min simulated driving?
A 15-minute exercise break during prolonged driving alters autonomic nervous system activation and reduces fatigue symptoms.
Liang et al. (2009) studied Driver fatigue. 15-min exercise break vs. No exercise break was evaluated on Physiological parameter changes and fatigue scores. A 15-minute exercise break during 2-hour simulated driving reduced fatigue scores and altered physiological parameters compared to continuous driving.
