Journal ArticleDOI
Central fatigue : The serotonin hypothesis and beyond
TL;DR: This revised central fatigue hypothesis suggests that an increase in central ratio of serotonin to dopamine is associated with feelings of tiredness and lethargy, accelerating the onset of fatigue, whereas a low ratio favours improved performance through the maintenance of motivation and arousal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain neurotransmitters in fatigue and overtraining.
TL;DR: It is of utmost importance to standardize measures that are now thought to provide a good inventory of the training status of the athlete to distinguish the OTS from overreaching and other potential causes of temporary underperformance such as anemia, acute infection, muscle damage, and insufficient carbohydrate intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and thermoregulatory effects of chronic bupropion administration in the heat.
Bart Roelands,Hiroshi Hasegawa,Hiroshi Hasegawa,P. Watson,Maria Francesca Piacentini,Maria Francesca Piacentini,Luk Buyse,Guy De Schutter,Romain Meeusen +8 more
TL;DR: It seems that chronic administration of BUP results in an adaptation of central neurotransmitter homeostasis, resulting in a different response to the drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dopamine/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor improves performance in the heat, but only at the maximum therapeutic dose.
Bart Roelands,P. Watson,Philip Cordery,S. Decoster,E. Debaste,Ronald J. Maughan,Romain Meeusen +6 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, despite an increase in core temperature and improved performance in the maximal dose of bupropion, there was no change in RPE and thermal sensation, suggesting an altered motivation or drive to continue exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
A spurious correlation
TL;DR: The following is the abstract of the article discussed in the subsequent letter: This study examined neurohumoral alterations during prolonged exercise with and without hyperthermia.
