Can cognitive activities during breaks in repetitive manual work accelerate recovery from fatigue? A controlled experiment

© 2014 Mathiassen et al. Neurophysiologic theory and some empirical evidence suggest that fatigue caused by physical work may be more effectively recovered during "diverting" periods of cognitive activity than during passive rest; a phenomenon of great interest in working life. We investig...
