Abstract in brief

  • The text proposes that a central governor in the brain regulates physical activity by managing effort and fatigue, considering the human body as a complex system during exercise.
  • It suggests that this control involves feed-forward mechanisms, where the brain anticipates and adjusts muscle recruitment based on feedback from various body systems to maintain homeostasis.
  • The sensation of fatigue is described as the conscious perception of these underlying central control processes that regulate effort and pacing during exercise.]
