TI - Investigating the Effects of Mental Fatigue on Resistance Exercise
Performance.

AB - Mental fatigue can impart negative effects on subsequent physical
performance,
although the mechanisms underlying these effects are not well understood.
This
study examined whether mental fatigue confers negative carryover effects on
the
performance of a set of biceps curls, while also investigating physiological
and
psychological mechanisms proposed to explain the predicted effect. A
randomized,
cross-over design was employed. On visit 1, participants (N = 10) performed a

barbell biceps curl one-repetition maximum (1RM) test. On visits 2-3,

participants performed 20 biceps curls at 50% of their 1RM, followed by their

respective 10 min experimental manipulation (high vs. low cognitive exertion)

and
then a second set of biceps curls to exhaustion. Ratings of perceived
exertion
and electromyography of the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, upper trapezius,

thoracic erector spinae and lumbar erector spinae were recorded during the
physical task. The total number of repetitions completed was similar across
the
conditions. Results also failed to show between-condition differences for
muscle
activation and perceptions of exertion. Future research is needed to build an

adequate knowledge base to determine whether there is an effect of mental

fatigue
on dynamic resistance-based task performance and, if so, identify the
mechanisms
explaining how and why.
