Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: 1) induction of mental fatigue + brain anodal stimulation + running until reaching paralysis
2) induction of mental fatigue + sham stimulation + running until reaching exhaustion
3) cerebral anodal stimulation + running until exhaustion (without inducing mental fatigue)
4) Stimulation + running will be until reaching exhaustion (without inducing mental fatigue). Intervention 2: Control group: In this research, in addition to three intervention sessions, all subjects

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in endurance performance. Timepoint: After endurance activity. Method of measurement: Laboratory treadmill (CosMed, T300, Italy).;Amplitude of muscle electromyography. Timepoint: Every five minutes for 30 seconds. Method of measurement: 16-channel wireless electromyography device (Noraxon model, Scottsdale, AZ85260).;The degree of perception of pressure. Timepoint: Every three minutes. Method of measurement: Using a pressure perception scale of 6 to 20 borg.;Cognitive function. Timepoint: Before and after maximal aerobic test. Method of measurement: Using the color-word Stroop test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Selective reaction time. Timepoint: Before and after endurance activity. Method of measurement: Using the response time device of Response Panel (63035A, Lafayette, Indiana).;Sense of pleasure. Timepoint: Every three minutes. Method of measurement: Using an 11-item emotion scale.;Arousal level. Timepoint: Every three minutes.
