Central Governor Theory

The Central Governor Theory suggests that the brain actively monitors and regulates physical effort to protect the body from damage or exhaustion. Instead of muscles becoming exhausted solely through fatigue, the brain acts as a control center, limiting effort before the body reaches its physical limit. This subconscious regulation helps prevent injury by signaling the wearer to slow down or stop, ensuring safety during intense activity. Essentially, your brain manages how hard you push yourself, balancing performance with preservation of your body's well-being.
