Effects of experimental condition on the slope of the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) response at 40%Δ 60%Δ, 80%Δ and 100% for the mental fatigue (MF) and control (CON) conditions

	40%Δ	60%Δ	80%Δ	100% $\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{\text{2peak}}$
CON	0.61 ± 0.15	1.19 ± 0.35	1.78 ± 0.67	2.06 ± 0.92
MF	0.76 ± 0.21*	1.27 ± 0.34*	2.31 ± 0.97	3.31 ± 0.61*

Values are RPE slope (RPE min⁻¹) presented as mean ± SD

*Significant different to CON condition (P < 0.05)
