The perception of time is slowed in response to exercise, an effect not further compounded by competitors: behavioral implications for exercise and health

ConclusionThe results of this study demonstrate for the first time that exercise both with and without the influence of opponents influences time perception. This finding has important implications for healthy exercise choices and also for optimal performance. Independent of RPE, time was perceived to move slower during exercise, underpinning inaccurate pacing and decision-making across physical activities.
