Project description

This research will examine the effects of cognitive fatigue and cognitive training on soccer performance factors. The specific factors associated with performance to be investigated in

this research include decision-­‐ making, dribbling, passing and shooting skill, and intermittent running. It is hypothesised that

cognitive fatigue will impair these factors, while

cognitive training will improve them.
