From catastrophe to complexity: a novel model of integrative central neural regulation of effort and fatigue during exercise in humans: summary and conclusions

Abstract: It is hypothesised that physical activity is controlled by a central governor in the brain and that the human body functions as a complex system during exercise. Using feed forward control in response to afferent feedback from different physiological systems, the extent of skeletal muscle recruitment is controlled as part of a continuously altering pacing strategy, with the sensation of fatigue being the conscious interpretation of these homoeostatic, central governor control mechanisms.

“…The Central Governor Model (CGM) [1][2][3] attributes changes in pace during exercise to a brain-derived regulatory strategy by a central governor in order to maintain an exercise reserve [4] . This is achieved through a continuous integration of afferent feedback from peripheral systems and feedforward signals, acting to protect the body from physiological failure [1] .…”

Therefore the aim of an optimal pacing strategy during exercise is to enhance performance whilst ensuring physiological limits are not surpassed [5] .…”

“…Estas alterações induzidas pelo exercício podem ser expressas conscientemente pela escala de percepção subjetiva de esforço (PSE). De fato, a PSE tem sido apontada como uma importante ferramenta no controle da estratégia de prova [12][13][14][15] . Durante uma corrida os atletas comparariam a PSE esperada para aquele determinado momento, baseada nas experiências prévias e na distância restante de prova, com a PSE momentânea, gerada pelas alterações siológicas e psicológicas induzidas pelo exercício 16 .…”
