We're taking a closer look at something that's changing the game in competitive gaming: Brain Endurance Training, or BET for short.

Separating Quality from Marketing Noise.

BET's core principle revolves around using cognitive stress as a catalyst for a broad spectrum of physiological adaptations, extending beyond mere task efficiency to encompass increased mental resilience, enhanced decision-making capabilities under fatigue, and overall physical endurance.

We're diving deep into a concept that's crucial yet often overlooked in sports training: the athlete's cognitive breaking point.

It's not uncommon for coaches to observe a puzzling trend: an athlete's reaction times deteriorating over the course of their cognitive training plan. This observation can be alarming, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the training strategy and its impact on performance.

Does mental fatigue influence how many repetitions you can perform during a resistance training session, and does its impact vary with the intensity of the exercise?

How much cognitive load is enough to create real, positive changes in an athlete's brain, enhancing their ability to perform under pressure?

Today, we turn our focus to a compelling piece of research that delves into the effects of ketone monoester supplementation combined with carbohydrates on the physical and cognitive performance of trained female athletes.

The Relationship Between Mental Fatigue and Shooting Performance Over the Course of a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Basketball Season.

Athletes train relentlessly, pushing their limits to achieve higher performance levels. However, there's a hidden challenge that often goes unnoticed: overtraining.

The results of this study were as revealing as they were specific. It turns out, mental fatigue does more than just make you feel tired – it actually messes with your game, especially when it comes to tackling in rugby.
