Sumario:	The article investigates the effects of engaging in a cognitive task during rest intervals between exercise sets on recovery and subsequent exercise performance. In a study involving 26 participants aged 18-35, two conditions were tested: one where participants completed the Stroop Color-Word Task during a 2-minute rest period (Cognitive Task condition) and another where they rested without any intervention (Control condition). Results indicated that performing a cognitive task during rest led to a greater reduction in flexion total work and a smaller reduction in mental fatigue compared to the control. The findings suggest that cognitive engagement during rest may impair recovery, particularly for certain movement patterns, highlighting the need for further research into the interaction between mental fatigue and physical recovery processes.
