Fatigue and Human Performance: An Updated Framework
Both performance fatigability and perceived fatigability depend on several factors that determine the decline in motor performance as well as the changes in the individuals’s sensations. In their framework, the authors highlighted the interdependence of performance fatigability and perceived fatigability with both contributing to the self-reported symptom fatigue.

Nutritional intake when cycling under racing and training conditions in professional male cyclists with type 1 diabetes
This study sought to detail and compare the in-ride nutritional practices of a group of professional cyclists with type 1 diabetes (T1D) under training and racing conditions. We observed seven male professional road cyclists with T1D during pre-season training and during a Union Cycliste Internationale multi-stage road cycling race.

The Acute and Chronic Effects of Implementing Velocity Loss Thresholds During Resistance Training
Velocity loss (VL) experienced in a set during resistance training is often monitored to control training volume and quantify acute fatigue responses. Accordingly, various VL thresholds are used to prescribe resistance training and target different training adaptations. However, there are inconsistencies in the current body of evidence regarding the magnitude of the acute and chronic responses to the amount of VL experienced during resistance training.

Does rest breed rust? An examination of DNP-Rest decisions and performance in the National Basketball Association regular and post-season
The value and importance of rest in sports has been and continues to be studied from many different angles, which include: the physical aspects of rest, the role of rest in injury, the benefits of sleep, short rest periods during training and performance, and the psychological benefits of rest for recovery, learning, and expert performance…
