CNS Fatigue Reduction

Meaning

Central Nervous System (CNS) Fatigue Reduction is the clinical objective of restoring optimal neurological function by decreasing the accumulated neurochemical and electrical inhibitory signals that impair central drive and performance. This state of fatigue is distinct from peripheral muscle fatigue and manifests as a diminished capacity for sustained cognitive effort, reduced motor unit recruitment, and generalized mental exhaustion. Successfully achieving CNS fatigue reduction is critical for maintaining peak physical and mental output and is intimately linked to the regulation of the neuroendocrine stress response.
