Foralmostacentury,scientistshaveassumed,tiredness—orexhaustion—inathletesoriginates(起源于)inthemuscles.Preciseexplanationshavevaried,butallhavebeenbasedonthe“LimitationsTheory”.Inotherwords,musclestirebecausetheyhitaphysicallimit:

Inthepastfewyears,however,TimothyNoakesfromtheUniversityofCapeTown,SouthAfrica,hasexaminedthisstandardtheory.Tiredness,heargues,iscausednotbysignalsspringingfromovertaxedmuscles,butisanemotionalresponsewhichbeginsinthebrain.Thefundamentalnatureofhisnewtheoryisthatthebrainpacesthemusclestokeepthemwellbackfromtheedgeofexhaustion.Whenthebraindecidesit’stimetoquit,itcreatesunbearablemuscletiredness.This“CentralGovernor”theoryremainscontroversial,butitdoesexplainmanypuzzlingaspectsofathleticperformance.

ToNoakes,thiswasstrongevidencethattheoldtheorywaswrong.“Thecyclistsmayhavefeltcompletelyexhausted,”hesays,“buttheirbodiesactuallyhadconsiderablereservesthattheycouldtheoreticallytapbyusingagreateramountoftherestingfibres.”This,hebelieves,istheproofthatthebrainisregulatingthepaceoftheworkouttoholdthecyclistswellbackfromthepointofextremetiredness.
