Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does prolonged mental exertion alter neuromuscular function of the knee extensors?
Answer: These findings provide the first experimental evidence that prolonged mental exertion (i) does not reduce maximal muscle activation and (ii) does not increase the extent of central fatigue induced by subsequent endurance exercise. The negative effect of mental fatigue on endurance performance seems to be mediated by the higher perception of effort rather than impaired neuromuscular function.
Output (English): no
