A Study on the Influence of Mental Fatigue on the Physical Performance of College Men's Basketball Players
Objective:Mental fatigue(MF)is a psychobiological state that arises during or after long-term high-intensity cognitive activities,characterized by subjective symptoms of fatigue and tiredness,and behavioral symp-toms of decreased attention and performance.MF can impair cognitive function of the brain and affect task perform-ance.Since physical performance such as agility and balance requires cognitive involvement of the brain,it is of great significance for coaches and athletes to reasonably arrange training and improve their competitive state by ex-ploring the relationship between MF and physical performance.This study aims to investigate the impact of MF on the physical performance of college male basketball specialty athletes.Methods:A random cross-over controlled experiment design was used to recruit 16 male athletes who were randomly and sequentially assigned to the Stroop task(MF group)or a simple cognitive task(control group).After completing the task,the participants were se-quentially tested with the Y-Balance Test(YBT),Illinois Agility Test(IAT),grip strength test(GS),and countermovement jump(CMJ).During the experiment,subjective indicators,reaction times(RT),accuracy(ACC),physical test scores,and fatigue levels were recorded.Results:There were no significant differences in subjective indicators between the control group and the MF group before intervention(p>0.05);however,signifi-cant differences were observed in subjective indicators between the two groups after intervention and the difference before and after intervention(P<0.05);there were no significant differences in test scores between the control group and the MF group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Mental fatigue does not have a negative impact on the physical performance of college male basketball specialty athletes.
