Description
Summary:According to the psychobiological theory model,5 any factor that affects the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and motivation will, in turn, affect performance. [...]once motivation was similar between groups, we should closely observe what caused the differences in the RPE. [...]Filipas et al.1 showed no differences in perceived general and mental fatigue (e.g., fatigue, mental fatigue, and motivation) or cognitive scores. [...]it seems the effects on performance were due to the physical training and not related to increased resistance to mental fatigue. [...]it is our view if any resistance to mental fatigue was built up due to physical training, clear changes in cognitive performance or feelings of mental fatigue should have been observed. [...]it seems entirely rational to assume that performance improvements were observed because of peripheral adaptations to training.
