What research there is suggests that it's about being forced to cycle at 80-to-90 rpm at a lower resistance which still keeps your heart rate up, as opposed to cycling voluntarily at whatever pace you want while being coached to keep your heart rat…

The main thing I noticed is that the ability to focus on complex logic or chains of events went seriously downhill so I had to do a better job of sketching out my algorithm before I started to code and making lists and diagrams for myself.
