Can interoceptive accuracy influence maximal performance, physiological and perceptual responses to exercise?

Interoception has been shown to influence self-regulation of effort and perceived exertion during exercise. However, whether interoceptive accuracy influences submaximal and maximal exercise performance, as well as psychophysiological responses to it, remains elusive. We assessed poor (n = 15) and good (n = 17) heartbeat perceivers young men accordingly with their interoceptive accuracy.
