New research from the University of Zurich has found that muscle fatigue originates in our brains. They found that muscle fatigue and the interactions of neuronal structures affect each other. If you are active in sports, you know that mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness. This new research confirms these notions, as they have uncovered a mechanism in the brain that signals a reduction in the performance of our muscles during physical activity. This is found to happen so that our own physiological limits are not reached.
