Objectives

Narrative objectives1

It has been shown that facial expressions during exercise, particularly movements of the mouth, are associated with decreases in subjective arousal. However, it remains unclear whether controlling facial expressions can suppress decreases in subjective arousal and the development of brain fatigue. The present study aims to clarify whether intentionally keeping the mouth closed during exercise can attenuate reductions in subjective arousal and brain fatigue.
