Effects of Physical and Cognitive Fatigue on Reaction Time and Depth Perception in Adolescents
Differential Effects of Physical, Cognitive, and Combined Fatigue on Reaction Time and Depth Perception in Adolescents
This study investigates how physical fatigue, cognitive fatigue, and a combination of both affect reaction time and depth perception in adolescents.
Sixty healthy adolescents will participate in four experimental conditions: a control condition, a physical fatigue condition, a cognitive fatigue condition, and a combined fatigue condition. Physical fatigue will be induced using a modified shuttle run protocol, while cognitive fatigue will be induced using computerized Stroop and mental arithmetic tasks.
Reaction time will be assessed using the BlazePod system, and depth perception will be evaluated using the Titmus Fly Stereotest before and after each condition. Heart rate, perceived exertion, and mental fatigue will also be measured to verify the effectiveness of the fatigue protocols.
The findings may improve understanding of how different types of fatigue influence perceptual and motor performance in adolescents and may contribute to the development of safer and more effective training and sport participation strategies.

Szczegółowy opis
Fatigue is a multifactorial phenomenon that can impair cognitive, perceptual, and motor performance. While the independent effects of physical fatigue and cognitive fatigue have been widely investigated, limited evidence exists regarding their comparative and combined effects on reaction time and depth perception during adolescence. Because perceptual and motor functions play a critical role in sports performance, injury prevention, and daily activities, understanding the effects of different fatigue states in adolescents is of practical and scientific importance.
The purpose of this study is to examine the differential effects of physical fatigue, cognitive fatigue, and combined fatigue on reaction time and depth perception in healthy adolescents. A within-subject crossover design will be employed, in which each participant completes four experimental conditions: control, physical fatigue, cognitive fatigue, and combined fatigue. Physical fatigue will be induced using a modified 20-meter shuttle run protocol. Cognitive fatigue will be induced through computerized Stroop and mental arithmetic tasks designed to impose sustained demands on attention, inhibitory control, working memory, and information processing. The combined fatigue condition will include both physical and cognitive fatigue protocols within the same session.
Reaction time will be measured using the BlazePod wireless light-based system, and depth perception will be assessed using the Titmus Fly Stereotest. Measurements will be obtained immediately before and after each experimental condition. Heart rate, rating of perceived exertion, and mental fatigue scores will be collected as manipulation checks to confirm the effectiveness of the fatigue protocols.
The results of this study are expected to improve understanding of the mechanisms through which different types of fatigue influence perceptual and motor performance in adolescents and may provide practical implications for youth sports training, performance monitoring, and injury prevention strategies.

Eksperymentalny: Control Condition
Participants completed the testing procedures without exposure to any physical or cognitive fatigue protocol. Reaction time and depth perception were assessed before and after the control condition. |
Participants completed the testing procedures without exposure to any physical or cognitive fatigue protocol. |

Eksperymentalny: Physical Fatigue Condition
Participants completed a 16-minute modified 20-meter shuttle run protocol designed to induce physical fatigue. Reaction time and depth perception were assessed before and after the protocol. |
A 16-minute modified 20-meter shuttle run protocol designed to induce physical fatigue through progressively increasing running intensity. |
|
Eksperymentalny: Cognitive Fatigue Condition
Participants completed a 16-minute cognitive fatigue protocol consisting of an 8-minute Stroop task and an 8-minute mental arithmetic task. Reaction time and depth perception were assessed before and after the protocol. |
A 16-minute computerized protocol consisting of Stroop and mental arithmetic tasks designed to induce cognitive fatigue. |
|
Eksperymentalny: Combined Fatigue Condition
Participants completed a combined fatigue protocol consisting of 8 minutes of a modified shuttle run followed by 4 minutes of a Stroop task and 4 minutes of a mental arithmetic task. Reaction time and depth perception were assessed before and after the protocol. |
A protocol combining physical and cognitive fatigue tasks, including a modified shuttle run, Stroop task, and mental arithmetic task. |

Reaction Time
Ramy czasowe: Immediately before and immediately after each experimental condition.
|
Reaction time will be assessed using the BlazePod wireless light-based system. Reaction time will be recorded in milliseconds as the latency between stimulus presentation and participant response. Two trials will be performed, and the best performance will be used for analysis. |
Immediately before and immediately after each experimental condition.
|
|
Depth Perception
Ramy czasowe: Immediately before and immediately after each experimental condition.
|
Depth perception will be assessed using the Titmus Fly Stereotest. Stereopsis will be expressed in arc seconds, with lower values indicating better depth perception performance. Two trials will be conducted at each measurement point, and the lowest value will be used for analysis. |
Immediately before and immediately after each experimental condition.
