Muscle Fatigue Cognitive Function

Meaning

Muscle Fatigue Cognitive Function refers to the bidirectional relationship where peripheral muscle exhaustion influences central nervous system performance, often leading to a measurable decline in cognitive tasks like decision-making, attention, and reaction time. This phenomenon highlights the central fatigue component of physical exertion, where afferent signals from fatigued muscles modulate brain activity. Understanding this link is crucial for optimizing performance in tasks that require both physical endurance and mental acuity.
