All data about HRV fatigue accuracy

Purpose: To investigate the impact of mental fatigue on the shooting accuracy of collegiate soccer players.Methods: Eight male collegiate soccer players underwent testing before and after mental fatigue induction. Mental fatigue was induced via a 30-minute Stroop task. The effectiveness of fatigue induction was assessed using heart rate variability (HRV), a visual analogue scale (VAS), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). Shooting performance was evaluated before and after mental fatigue using the Loughborough Soccer Shooting Test (LSST) and by evaluating timing by means of high-speed imaging.Results: Following mental fatigue induction, LSST scores significantly decreased. HRV, VAS scores, RPE scores, and ABQ scores were all significantly elevated after the 30-minute Stroop task. LSST decrease significantly. Timing didn’t changed significantly.Conclusions: Mental fatigue significantly impairs the shooting accuracy of collegiate soccer players, as evidenced by decreased LSST scores. However, it has no significant effect on event duration during shooting execution. Mental fatigue affected decision making, but not shooting movement timing. More cognitive-challenging tasks are more affected by mental fatigue.
