Summary

Objective: To investigate the effects of brain endurance training on improving motor skill learning in adolescents with mild mental fatigue. Methods: Fifty-eight adolescents experiencing mild mental fatigue were recruited. A 6-week training program was conducted using a 2 (BET group, control group) × 2 (pre- and post-Stroop task) × 3 (0, 3, 6 weeks) mixed-design experimental design. Assessments included basketball free throws, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS-MF), the 3-minute Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT-B), the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) to assess performance before and after a 30-minute Stroop task.

Conditions

  • Mental Fatigue
  • Motor Skill Learning

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Skill Learning

During training, the BET group completed a 20-minute 2-back task \[28\], followed by a 5-minute break, after which they performed free-throw-related physical and technical training. The presentation timing and intervals of the 2-back task stimuli were adjusted every two weeks \[18\]. During testing, the BET group completed 20 free-throw trials and a 1-minute free-throw test \[29\] before and after the 30-minute Stroop task, and underwent PVT-B, VAS-MF, and RPE assessments.

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Skill Learning

The BET group and the control group underwent physical and technical training related to free throws; the training content, intensity, and workload were identical for both groups. While the BET group performed cognitive tasks, the control group rested in place. During testing, the control group completed a 20-free-throw test and a 1-minute free-throw test \[29\] before and after the 30-minute Stroop task, and underwent PVT-B, VAS-MF, and RPE assessments.
