Article Abstract:
Bathing in tepid water after submaximal exercise in appears to help somewhat in recovery from fatigue. Lactate removal from the blood, one of the factors used to measure recovery, was optimal when the water temperature was 30 degrees celsius.In terms of subjective feeling, recovery from fatigue is also optimal with the 30 degrees celsius bath. The study analyze six males following cycle exercises at 80% aerobic power for 10 minutes. Recovery is observed during and after 10 min bathing at water temperatures of 38 and 30 degrees celsius, and without water.

Article Abstract:
An increase in the duration of workbout at each power output in a submaximal cycle ergometer test, called the physical working capacity at fatigue threshold PWC(sub FT), decreases the fatigue threshold. The mean PWC(sub FT) for four a minute workbout is less than that for a two minute workbout. However, this result does not warrant a change in the PWC(sub FT) test protocol because only two out of nine test subjects completed 60 minutes at PWC(sub FT4).

Article Abstract:
Perceived fatigue following mental work was investigated, and the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI) was examined. Physiological reactions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle activity were assessed. The highest ratings were obtained on Lack of energy, Lack of motivation and Sleepiness, especially following a vigilance task.
