research should examine functional testing in soccer players that can transcend the confines of a laboratory setting and promote field applicability. Studies observing between-limbs comparisons during episodes of induced physical or mental fatigue may provide the necessary conditions for finding presently

activities during match play. 85 Unfortunately, these results could not be dissociated from potential confounding factors, such as mental fatigue, pacing strategies, current match result, or tactical considerations. Consequently, the results of repeated tapering before soccer matches should be interpreted

greater “mental demand” (ie, the amount of mental and perceptual activity required to complete a task, including thinking, deciding, calculating, and remembering). 11 Mentally demanding tasks not only cause mental fatigue after a rugby match 12 but can also affect perceived exertion 13 and running

limited by performance fatigability and perceived fatigability. 4 The psychobiological factors contributing to fatigue following a soccer match have been extensively investigated and include exercise-induced glycogen depletion, central and peripheral neuromuscular fatigue and mental fatigue, 5 among

potential to provide further insight into the effects of actual real-life performance that may have more practical relevance. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) 17 is widely used in mental fatigue (MF) research and has been shown to accurately reflect changes in MF status induced by cognitively demanding tasks

me that it would be harder to do pre-match; you’ve got players’ natural anxiety and things building up to a game.” Another coach added: “I think we have to be careful not to overload the players cognitively.” This concern is validated by academic research which suggests that mental fatigue can be
