Abstract
Mental fatigue has been extensively researched after the occurrence of mental activities however, less research has been done on mental fatigue after the occurrence of physical tasks. Studies suggest that certain professional athletes are able to overcome the constraints of fatigue, suggesting that the fatigue experienced is a sensation rather than a physical occurrence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physical activity on mental fatigue, and to study whether the mental fatigue, if experienced, is subjective or objective in nature, after physical activity. The study measured biological markers, subjective mental fatigue, working memory and made use of electrocochleography (EEG)...
