Application of the Facial Feedback Hypothesis to Endurance Performance: Does Frowning Modulate Perception of Effort?
2016
International audience; Objectives: People frown during strenuous exercise. Research on the facial feedback hypothesis raises the intriguingpossibility that frowning may modulate (i.e., amplify/soften) perception of effort during endurance performance andtherefore play a causal role in endurance performance. This study examined whether intentionally frowningthroughout a cycling time-to-exhaustion test increased perception of effort and, consequently, reduced time toexhaustion. This study also examined the effects of frowning on affective states experienced during performanceand after exhaustion.Design: A randomised, controlled, crossover experimental design was used to compare (within-subje…
Mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation does not exacerbate central fatigue during subsequent whole-body endurance exercise
2015
International audience; It has been shown that the mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation increases perception of effort and reduces performance during subsequent endurance exercise. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying these negative effects of mental fatigue are unclear. The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental fatigue exacerbates central fatigue induced by whole-body endurance exercise. Twelve subjects performed 30 min of either an incongruent Stroop task to induce a condition of mental fatigue or a congruent Stroop task (control condition) in a random and counterbalanced order. Both cognitive tasks (CTs) were followed by a whole-body …
