Mental fatigue awareness significantly affects decision-making performance in athletes, impacting their overall effectiveness.
Key evidence shows that cognitive load mediates the relationship between mental fatigue and decision-making efficacy, with diverse impacts across sports.
The analysis includes factors such as stress levels and training intensity to assess the moderating effects on cognitive performance in athletes.
Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve mental fatigue management, potentially enhancing athletic performance.
