Linear relationship between the perception of effort and the duration of constant load exercise that remains.

The following is the abstract of the article discussed in the subsequent letter: The hypothesis that fatigue during prolonged exercise arises from insufficient intramuscular glycogen, which limits tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) activity due to reduced TCA cycle intermediates (TCAI), was tested in
