The central governor theory is a model for understanding the limits of human performance (remember that [[All models are wrong]]). Instead of athletic ability being limited only by biomechanical systems, the central governor theory proposes that the limits are from a combination of the mind and body. For example, if we run far enough that our [[Muscle|muscles ]] start to become damaged, our brain receives signals indicating there are problems, and our mind perceives this is suffering and we have a desire to stop.
