Abstract
Expts. on the ability of men to withstand fatiguing ordeals showed a positive relationship between tendency to fatigue and adrenal cortical functions. In hard and prolonged activity with airplane type controls, the poorer performers excreted more 17-ketosteroids. Pregnenolone. a steroid, was most effective to combat fatigue where motivation was high and working stress great.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
