Time Estimation Following an Exhaustive Exercise.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Time estimation was investigated in 24 healthy adults, including 12 women and 12 men, before and after an exhaustive exercise. Methods: We compared the ability of estimating time intervals in the range 1 to 5 s using tasks requiring mental counting and tasks that did not allow it. Time estimation and blood lactate levels were evaluated before and at the end of the exercise. Results: We found that the perception of time intervals between 1 and 5 s was affected at the end of the exercise. The observed effects, associated with a significant increase in blood lactate levels, were different in the two types of time estimation used in the present study. When participants had to evaluate the duration of the time interval using mental counting, a signifi
