mark me brainliest pls

Explanation:

Actually this is a great question because it turns out that mental exertion can actually reduce your ability to exercise at top potential.

Strenuous mental exertion may lessen endurance and lead to shortened workouts, even if, in strict physiological terms, your body still has plenty of energy reserves.

For a study published online in May in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, they decided to tire volunteers’ brains with a mentally demanding computer word game and see how well their bodies would perform afterward.

Then, during one session, the men sat for 90 minutes before a computer screen, intently watching individual letters flash by while they counted every four and punched various keys, depending on how each grouping of the letters was configured. This test is known reliably to induce mental fatigue.

During a separate lab visit, the men watched “Earth,” a serene, calming documentary, for 90 minutes.

After both intellectual activities, the men exercised one of their legs at a specialized one-legged ergometer to the point of muscular exhaustion, while frequently telling the researchers how strenuous the exercise felt.

Then they underwent the test of actual maximum contractile force one more time.

As it turned out, mental fatigue significantly affected the men’s endurance. They tired about 13 percent faster after the computer test than after watching “Earth.” They also reported that the workout felt far more taxing.

But, interestingly, their maximum contractile force was about the same after each session.

"maximal force production is not altered by mental fatigue but endurance performance is altered, and this alteration is closely linked with a higher feeling of perceived exertion,” [1]

Similarly, it's no secret that if you're exhausted from exercise or other matters you simply won't have as much energy to study.

The key in both places is to make sure you have sufficient rest between the activities.

Prolonged and exhausting physical exercise, on the other hand, may leave practitioners too worn out to think clearly, at least for a short period of time.[1]

However, you can actually energize yourself and improve your ability to study better with short bouts of exercise.

short bouts of exercise typically improve cognition.[1]

So the key is to :

Rest or relax after long intense exercise. Do whatever relaxing activities you might enjoy then as opposed to other times.

Energize yourself and improve your studies with short bouts of exercise.

If you experience mental exhaustion after intense studying, your endurance won't be that great, so if you want to exercise, one option might be to do some weight training—since that's unaffected by mental exhaustion. You can always do cardio afterwards. Another option might be to cardio exercise in the morning or at other times when you aren't mentally exhausted — if you want to push yourself and perform well when doing cardio or intervals.
