Unleashing the Power of the Brain: Mental Fatigue and Cycling Performance The Knowledge by Wahoo

Welcome to The Knowledge Podcast by Wahoo, hosted by Jinger Gottschall and Mac Cassin. Join us as we explore the fascinating world of performance determination, focusing on the intersection of physiology, biomechanics, and the often-overlooked aspect of the brain. Discover how mental fatigue affects endurance exercise and high-intensity activities, and learn about the psycho-biological model that explains the brain's role in performance. We delve into the lobes of the brain, such as the parietal and frontal lobes, to understand how sensory information, cognitive processing, and executive function impact our ability to regulate exertion. With expert insights and engaging discussions, this podcast uncovers the latest research on measuring brain activity and neural efficiency during exercise. Tune in and unlock the secrets of optimal performance!
