Fig 1.
A schematic layout of the experimental design.
MFT = mental fatigue group, CT = control group, RPE = rate of perceived exertion, SSG = small-sided games, GPS = global positioning system.
Fig 2.
Perceptual responses of RPE (panel A), mental fatigue (panel B), motivation (panel C) and mental effort (panel D) throughout the experimental period (PRE, START, and POST). RPE = rate of perceived exertion.
