- Muscle pain, sweating, and blushing after exercise are not a sign of tiredness, but a sign of brain fatigue. This sign is medically called "central fatigue". [1]
- Some studies have suggested that there are many factors that cause central fatigue. The serotonin and dopamine are involved in the regulatory response, and the mechanism that causes central fatigue is not completely clear.
- mechanism
- Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have found through experiments that when people are overworked, the neurotransmitter serotonin is released, which can keep the body excited, but the excess secretion of this transmitter can make people feel tired. In other words, serotonin can not only act as an accelerator, but also act as a brake when pressure is too high. Scientists call this mechanism "central fatigue," which only makes the brain feel tired, without affecting the state of the muscles.
- Contribution to clinical medicine
- Sweating after exercise belongs to nervous fatigue. Sweating after exercise belongs to nervous fatigue.
- This study points out that understanding the mechanism of "central fatigue" could help develop new drugs for treating central nervous diseases such as cerebral palsy. In addition, this study also helps to explain why selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants cause fatigue in some patients during treatment.
