Letter: Premature exhaustion

Published 2 May 1998

From Katerina Kessler

“The researchers think imagined exercise initiates the same motor programme
in the brain as real exercise,” according to your report
(This Week, 4 April, p 11).
“That explains why men are always so tired,” exclaimed one of my
colleagues, when I told him about it. “They think about sex all the time.”
