Dr Darias Holgado

Post-doctoral Researcher

I study the subjective experience of exercise and cognitive performance. My work bridges Sport Science, Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Statistics to generate robust evidence and practical impact.

Research focus

Cognitive effort and physical exercise

How cognitive effort impacts exercise, how exercise impacts cognitive endurance performance, and how to delay the onset of mental fatigue.

Subjective experiences associated to cognitive and physical effort

How people perceive, report, and dynamically experience cognitive and physical effort during demanding cognitive tasks, endurance exercise, and dual-task contexts.
