| Abstract |
In this chapter we present and discuss recent studies on the mechanisms underlying placebo and nocebo effects in physical performance, showing how expectations and both pharmacological and nonpharmacological preconditioning procedures can be very effective in inducing placebo responses, with important implications for sport competitions. Furthermore, we place these findings within the biological model of central governor of fatigue, whose main goal is to protect our body from damage. A crucial aspect of this emerging field of placebo studies is related to the limit beyond which these procedures can be called doping in all respects. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 September 2018.
All research outputs
#15,256,901
of 22,687,320 outputs
Outputs from Handbook of experimental pharmacology
#394
of 644 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#189,781
of 305,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Handbook of experimental pharmacology
#16
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,687,320 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 644 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 305,029 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
