Prefrontal Cortex Oxygenation During Endurance Performance: A Systematic Review of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Studies

Abstract: Introduction: A myriad of factors underlie pacing-/exhaustion-decisions that are made during whole-body endurance performance. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a brain region that is crucial for decision-making, planning, and attention. PFC oxygenation seems to be a mediating factor of performance decisions during endurance performance. Nowadays, there is no general overview summarizing the current knowledge on how PFC oxygenation evolves during whole-body endurance performance and whether this is a determining … Show more

“…Moreover, within θ power, the Fz, F3 and F4 electrodes were implicated in a decrease in energy. These electrodes are located near the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, further adding to the literature implicating this region in MF and its effects [ 25 , 58 ].…”

“…The prefrontal cortex has been implicated as an important area in exercise decision making, for example, the decision to stop exercising because of an increase in effort. 7 Moreover, adenosine may affect motivation during specific tasks, as it can inhibit the release of dopamine and modify the affinity of dopamine receptors. 6 Although this is a promising hypothesis, direct evidence should be gathered to confirm it.…”

“…Because the medial PFC is involved in both executive control and the emotional salience network in conjunction with many other brain regions, such as the insular and anterior cingulate cortex, oxygenation in the PFC would be a surrogate for observing interoception caused by rowing exercise ( Craig, 2009 ). Additionally, the PFC has been explored in NIRS studies that investigated the underlying mechanism of the pacing strategy related to an experimental model of time-to-exhaustion ( De Wachter et al, 2021 ). From the perspective of the regulation of endurance exercise in the brain, the PFC has a key role in brain regions such as the anterior cingulate cortex and premotor area cortex, which integrate afferent and efferent information mandatory for executive function for endurance exercise ( Robertson and Marino, 2016 ).…”

“…Previous studies have investigated the association between fatigue or exhaustion induced by maximal-intensity rowing exercise by measuring oxygenation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the cerebral metabolic ratio, which is the oxygen-to-glucose index determined by arterial-to-internal jugular venous differences in the entire brain ( Secher et al, 2008 ; Volianitis et al, 2020 ). Because of its practical utility, a large number of studies focused on oxygenation changes in the PFC during exercise ( Herold et al, 2018 ; De Wachter et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, several studies using NIRS have investigated oxygenation in the PFC during rowing exercise ( Nielsen et al, 1999 , 2001 ; Faull et al, 2015 ).…”
