Researchers from Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al and Universit\u00e9 Savoie Mont Blanc discovered that applying mild vibrations to the Achilles and knee tendons before exercise can alter the brain\u2019s perception of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants equipped with the vibrating devices produced more power and showed higher heart rates during cycling, yet reported the same level of exertion as before. According to lead researcher Benjamin Pageaux, the vibrations influence how sensory signals from muscles are processed, effectively \u201ctricking\u201d the brain into perceiving the workout as less demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings could inspire new ways to boost exercise motivation and enjoyment by changing how the body interprets physical effort.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/health\/other\/scientists-trick-brain-into-finding-exercise-less-difficult\/ar-AA1RWIPW\">Read the full story on MSN<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study suggests that a simple trick may help make working out feel less strenuous.
