from
Wikipedia
At rest, the human brain receives 15 % of total cardiac output, and uses 20 % of the body's energy consumption.
The brain as a result is highly sensitive to failure of its oxygen supply with loss of consciousness occurring within six to seven seconds, with its EEG going flat in 23 seconds.
If it affected the oxygen and glucose supply to the brain, the metabolic demands of exercise could therefore quickly disrupt its functioning.
