Objectives To test the hypothesis that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) influences performance in a 20-min time-trial self-paced exercise and electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillatory brain activity group of trained male cyclists. Design The study consisted pre-registered (https://osf.io/rf95j/), randomised, sham-controlled, single-blind, within-subject design experiment. Methods 36 cyclists, age 27 (6.8) years, weight 70.1 (9.5)...
In psychological science, replicability—repeating a study with new sampleachieving consistent results (Parsons et al., 2022)—is critical for affirming the validity of scientific findings. Despite its importance, replication efforts are few and far between in science many attempts failing to corroborate past This scarcity, compounded by difficulty accessing data, jeopardizes efficient allocation research resources impedes advancement. Addressing this crucial gap, we present Replication...
Introduction Most previous research has investigated if a cognitive task reduces the time person can perform posterior physical exercise (Holgado et al., 2023). However, no performing an intense complete with adequate level of performance. The aim this study was to assess subjective, behavioral and brain activity responses on until failure. Methods In pre-registered, randomized, within-participant design experiment, 29 physically active participants completed failure after running at 90%...
Background Most previous research has investigated whether performing a demanding cognitive task reduces the time person can hold subsequent physical effort. However, no if an intense exercise complete with adequate level of performance. The aim this study was to assess subjective, behavioral and physiological responses on posterior tak until failure.Methods In pre-registered, within-participant experiment, 29 active participants performed failure after either running exhaustion at 90%...
ABSTRACT Introduction The relationship between cognitive tasks and physical performance has garnered significant attention, with evidence suggesting that effort before exercise may impair performance. However, recent findings challenge the robustness of this effect, necessitating a reassessment mechanisms linking load to This study introduces novel approach address methodological limitations, emphasizing individualized task difficulty duration. Using techniques such as Temporal Experience...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) on conflict resolution, focusing behavioral performance, neural activity, and subjective experience. Sixty participants were randomly assigned anodal, cathodal, or sham HD-tDCS groups completed a 30-minute flanker task during stimulation. Using comprehensive methodological approach, including Drift-Diffusion Modeling (DDM), EEG analysis, Lempel-Ziv complexity, Temporal Experience...

Abstract The aim of this study is to replicate the hypothesis that mental fatigue impairs physical performance in a pre‐registered ( https://osf.io/wqkap/ ) within‐subjects experiment. 30 recreationally active adults completed time‐to‐exhaustion test (TTE) at 80% VO 2 max two separate sessions, after completing task or watching documentary for 90 min. We measured power output, heart rate, (session) rating perceived exertion (RPE) and subjective fatigue. Bayes factor analyses revealed extreme...
Abstract Intense physical exercise exerts measurable changes at various physiological levels that are well documented in the literature. However, despite key role of brain processing inputs from internal organ systems and external environment to coordinate optimize behavior, little is known about dynamics during exercise. The present study investigates tonic transient oscillatory activity a group participants performing an oddball task single bout aerobic Twenty young males (19–32 years)...
Abstract Extensive research links regular physical exercise to an overall enhancement of cognitive function across the lifespan. Here, we assess causal evidence supporting this relationship in healthy population, using umbrella review meta-analyses limited randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Despite most 24 reviewed reporting a positive effect, our assessment reveals low statistical power primary RCTs, selective inclusion studies, publication bias, and large variation combinations...
ABSTRACT Introduction Recent studies have questioned previous empirical evidence that mental fatigue negatively impacts physical performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the critical role individual differences in susceptibility by analyzing neurophysiological and responses an individualized task. Methods In a preregistered (https://osf.io/xc8nr/), randomized, within-participant design experiment, 22 recreational athletes completed time failure test at 80% their peak power...
Objectives To test the hypothesis that cognitive load (low vs. high load) during a 20 min self-paced cycling exercise affects physical performance. Design A pre-registered (https://osf.io/qept5/), randomized, within-subject design experiment. Methods 28 trained and experienced male cyclists completed time-trial in two separate sessions, corresponding to working memory conditions: 1-back or 2-back. We measured power output, heart rate, RPE mental fatigue. Results Bayes analyses revealed...

The use of tramadol is a controversial topic in cycling. In order to provide novel evidence on this issue, we tested 29 participants pre-loaded cycling time trial (TT; 20-min TT preceded by 40-min constant work-rate at 60% the VO2max) after ingesting 100 mg (vs placebo and paracetamol (1.5 g)). Participants performed Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) rest Sustained Attention Response (SART) during 60 min exercise. Oscillatory electroencephalography (EEG) activity was measured throughout...
