Mental Fatigue in Amateur and Competitive Sport
As part of the project "Mental Fatigue in Amateur and Competitive Sport", the effects of mental fatigue on various sport-related performance parameters are to be investigated in more detail in collaboration with the TSG Research Lab. Previous empirical studies in the field of mental fatigue have mainly been carried out in the context of highly standardized laboratory or laboratory-like research designs. Due to the associated limited transferability of the study results to the application field, the present project is concerned with the conception of research designs that guarantee increased ecological validity. The research project should help to better understand the construct of mental fatigue and provide starting points for counteracting the performance losses associated with mental fatigue.
