The prefrontal cortex (PFC), usually known for its involvement in higher cognitive control, appears to be particularly involved in maintaining physical effort. While this involvement suggests the existence of a psychological component in the ability to tolerate and maintain exercise, the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms remain relatively unknown. Recent theoretical proposals speculate that exercise termination is determined by a decision-making process, controlled by the PFC. The integration and conscious evaluation of the costs (i.e., unpleasant feelings of fatigue) and benefits (e.g., rewards), associated with the physical task, would control this decision. Maintaining an effort would be facilitated when estimated benefits increase or...
