Abstract(s)
This study examined the effects of mental fatigue on maximal
treadmill walking exercise performance. METHODS: 50 young male (n =
25) and female (n = 25) adults were recruited to perform a maximal
treadmill walking exercise test to volitional exhaustion on two occasions.
Prior to the exercise test, participants performed a cognitive task in a
randomized, counterbalanced manner for 30 minutes, with the
incongruent Stroop task in the mental fatigue condition, and leisure
magazine reading in the control condition. Subjective ratings of perceived
mood, fatigue, and motivation to exercise were assessed before and after
the cognitive task. Perceptual and physiological responses were collected
throughout the exercise test.
