In 1923, Nobel Laureate A.V. Hill proposed that maximal exercise performance is limited by the development of anaerobiosis in the exercising skeletal muscles. Variants of this theory have dominated teaching in the exercise sciences ever since, but 90 years later there is little biological evidence to support Hill's belief, and much that disproves it. The cardinal weakness of the Hill model is that it allows no role for the brain in the regulation of exercise performance. As a result, it is…

Fatigue is a Brain-Derived Emotion that Regulates the Exercise Behavior to Ensure the Protection of Whole Body Homeostasis
TLDR
The model predicts that attempts to understand fatigue and to explain superior human athletic performance purely on the basis of the body’s known physiological and metabolic responses to exercise must fail since subconscious and conscious mental decisions made by winners and losers are the ultimate determinants of both fatigue and athletic performance.
Neural Correlates of Motor Vigour and Motor Urgency During Exercise
TLDR
The brain structures and neural circuitry underlying the motor system as it pertains to endurance exercise are reviewed, proposing that some of the above phenomena may be explained by distinguishing between voluntary, vigorous and urgent motor behaviours during exercise, given that different CNS structures and neurotransmitters are involved in the execution of these different motor behaviours.
Effects of Endurance Exercise on Cerebral and Muscle Oxygenation
It has been suggested that during exhaustive exercise both a central and peripheral mechanism of fatigue exists. Indeed, a central debate in the exercise science literature is the nature of fatigue…
Pacing and Awareness: Brain Regulation of Physical Activity
TLDR
The opinion proposed in this article is that a central regulator operates to control exercise performance but achieves this without the requirement of an intelligent central governor located in the subconscious brain.
Power–duration relationship: Physiology, fatigue, and the limits of human performance
TLDR
The power–duration relationship across the full range of attainable power outputs in humans is described and it is shown that a remarkably small range of power outputs is sustainable (power outputs below the critical power, CP).
Relative Contributions of Central and Peripheral Factors in Human Muscle Fatigue during Exercise : A Brief Review
TLDR
It is clear that fatigue remains a poorly understood topic and a fertile area for future research, as a novel model of integrative central control proposes both central and peripheral factors.
Central and peripheral fatigue: interaction during cycling exercise in humans.

TLDR
The purpose of this proposed feedback loop would be to regulate and restrict the development of exercise-induced peripheral muscle fatigue and/or associated sensory feedback to an "individual critical threshold" to prevent excessive disturbance of muscle homeostasis and potential harm to the organism.
Fatigue and Exhaustion in Hypoxia: The Role of Cerebral Oxygenation
TLDR
It is suggested that cerebral tissue deoxygenation may play a pivotal role in impairing aerobic capacity during exercise in more severe hypoxic conditions and peripheral fatigue and activation of muscle afferents probably play a major role in limiting exercise performance.
Neurophysiological Responses to Rest and Fatiguing Exercise in Severe Hypoxia in Healthy Humans
TLDR
In acute severe hypoxia, whole-body exercise tolerance is impaired through oxygensensitive mechanisms which exacerbate central fatigue, and the acute response can be alleviated following both chronic and intermittent severe Hypoxia.
Targeting perception of effort to modify the limits to human endurance
TLDR
This thesis sought to elicit alterations in RPE, and consequently physical endurance, using psychobiological strategies that were implemented to directly target RPE.

Exercising with reserve: evidence that the central nervous system regulates prolonged exercise performance
TLDR
The ingestion of a centrally acting stimulant allowed subjects to exercise for longer at higher cardiorespiratory and metabolic stress indicating the presence of a muscular reserve in the natural state, suggesting that endurance performance is not only “limited” by mechanical failure of the exercising muscles.
The Central Governor Model of Exercise Regulation Applied to the Marathon
TLDR
These findings are best explained by the action of a central (brain) neural control that regulates performance in the marathon ‘in anticipation’ specifically to prevent biological harm.
Logical limitations to the “catastrophe” models of fatigue during exercise in humans
TLDR
This paper addresses six hallmark physiological requirements that must be correct if Hill’s cardiovascular/ anaerobic/catastrophic model is the exclusive explanation for the fatigue that develops during maximum exercise to exhaustion.
Is it Time to Retire the ‘Central Governor’?
TLDR
Evidence concerning important corollaries of the hypothesis of a ‘Central Governor’ is reviewed, examining the extent of evolutionary pressures for the development of such a mechanism, the effectiveness of protection against hyperthermia and ischaemia during exhausting exercise, the absence of peripheral factors limiting peak performance and proof that electromyographic activity is limiting exhausting effort.
The anticipatory regulation of performance: the physiological basis for pacing strategies and the development of a perception-based model for exercise performance

TLDR
A conceptual model for how the RPE mediates feedforward, anticipatory regulation of exercise performance is proposed and this model is applied to previously described research studies of exercise in various conditions, including heat, hypoxia and reduced energy substrate availability.

TLDR
A. V. Hill's vision and enthusiasm attracted many scientists to the field of exercise physiology, and he pointed the way toward many of the physiological adaptations that occur with physical training.
Concept of an extracellular regulation of muscular metabolic rate during heavy exercise in humans by psychophysiological feedback
TLDR
The presented experiments indicate the existence and functioning of a system for optimal adjustment of performance during heavy exercise and the relevance of teleoanticipatory effects.
Evidence for complex system integration and dynamic neural regulation of skeletal muscle recruitment during exercise in humans
A model is proposed in which the development of physical exhaustion is a relative rather than an absolute event and the sensation of fatigue is the sensory representation of the underlying neural…
The limit to exercise tolerance in humans: mind over muscle?
TLDR
The results challenge the long-standing assumption that muscle fatigue causes exhaustion during high-intensity aerobic exercise, and suggest that exercise tolerance in highly motivated subjects is ultimately limited by perception of effort.
Modulation in voluntary neural drive in relation to muscle soreness
TLDR
The findings suggest the development of a supraspinal modulation perhaps linked to the presence of muscle soreness, likely related to a decrement in voluntary muscle drive.
