Brain endurance training (BET)\u2014the addition of demanding cognitive tasks to standard exercise training\u2014improves endurance exercise performance more than standard training. Although BET has yet to be evaluated with resistance exercise, it is expected to improve performance, particularly when the performer feels mentally fatigued. The study employed a pretest (week 0), midtest (week 3), posttest (week 6), and follow-up (week 9) design, with subjects randomized to BET (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 46) or control (exercise training) (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 45) groups. In testing sessions, subjects performed chest press and squat jump exercises to failure before (feeling fresh) and after (feeling tired) a 30-minute cognitively demanding Stroop task. Training comprised 5 BET or control training sessions per week for 6 weeks. In each training session, subjects completed 4 sets of each exercise to failure, with each exercise set preceded by a 3-minute cognitive task (BET) or rest (control). Exercise performance (number of repetitions to failure) and mental fatigue markers were assessed. In pretesting, exercise performance did not differ between the groups. In midtesting and posttesting, BET performed more chest press and squat jump repetitions when fatigued by the 30-minute Stroop than control. The mental fatigue elicited by the Stroop task gradually declined with training in BET compared with control. In conclusion, BET enhanced resistance exercise performance compared with standard training when tested subsequent to a mentally fatiguing cognitive task. These benefits were maintained weeks after training ended. Brain endurance training is an effective method to mitigate the deleterious effects of mental fatigue on resistance exercise performance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1519\/jsc.0000000000004847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]],"date-time":"2024-07-29T15:32:49Z","timestamp":1722267169000},"page":"1568-1575","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Brain Endurance Training Improves and Maintains Chest Press and Squat Jump Performance When Fatigued"],"prefix":"10.1519","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"D\u00edaz-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, C\u00e1ceres, Spain;"}]},{"given":"Miguel \u00c1ngel","family":"L\u00f3pez-Gajardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, C\u00e1ceres, Spain;"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Alberto","family":"Parraca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Desporto e Sa\u00fade, Escola de Sa\u00fade e Desenvolvimiento Humano, University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora, Portugal;"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC), University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora, Portugal; and"}]},{"given":"Nunho","family":"Batalha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Desporto e Sa\u00fade, Escola de Sa\u00fade e Desenvolvimiento Humano, University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora, Portugal;"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC), University of \u00c9vora, \u00c9vora, Portugal; and"}]},{"given":"Rub\u00e9n","family":"L\u00f3pez-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Extremadura, C\u00e1ceres, Spain;"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Ring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise & Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.1123\/mc.2022-0051","article-title":"Effects of mental fatigue on strength endurance: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"27","author":"Alix-Fages","year":"2023","journal-title":"Mot Control"},{"key":"R2-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"645","DOI":"10.1123\/mc.2022-0129","article-title":"Effects of mental fatigue induced by stroop task and by social media use on resistance training performance, movement velocity, perceived exertion, and repetitions in reserve: A randomized and double-blind crossover trial","volume":"27","author":"Alix-Fages","year":"2023","journal-title":"Mot Control"},{"key":"R3-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1671","DOI":"10.1007\/s00421-023-05189-1","article-title":"Mental fatigue impairs physical performance but not the neural drive to the muscle: A preliminary analysis","volume":"123","author":"Alix-Fages","year":"2023","journal-title":"Eur J Appl Physiol"},{"key":"R4-20260302","first-page":"72","article-title":"The effect of simultaneous physical and brain endurance training on fatigue and exercise tolerance in active people","volume":"9","author":"Barzegarpoor","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Pract Stud Biosci Sport"},{"key":"R5-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"497","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-019-01204-8","article-title":"Effects of prior cognitive exertion on physical performance: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"50","author":"Brown","year":"2020","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"key":"R6-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"155","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-2909.112.1.155","article-title":"A power primer","volume":"112","author":"Cohen","year":"1992","journal-title":"Psychol Bull"},{"key":"R7-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1269","DOI":"10.1080\/17461391.2022.2153231","article-title":"Prior brain endurance training improves endurance exercise performance","volume":"23","author":"Dallaway","year":"2023","journal-title":"Eur J Sport Sci"},{"key":"R8-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2020.10.008","article-title":"Concurrent brain endurance training improves endurance exercise performance","volume":"24","author":"Dallaway","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Sci Med Sport"},{"key":"R9-20260302","first-page":"1","article-title":"Mental fatigue impairs strength endurance performance in trained individuals","author":"De Salles Painelli","year":"2024","journal-title":"Sport Sci Health"},{"key":"R10-20260302","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5755","DOI":"10.3390\/su13105755","article-title":"Is motivation associated with mental fatigue during padel trainings?
