Abstract

A recent trial showed a negative impact of mental fatigue (MF) on subjective and behavioural outcomes. However, effects on physical performance outcomes were smaller than previously reported, possibly due to interindividual differences. To explore these differences, we examined whether sleep quality and chronotype modulate subjective and behavioural responses to MF. Mental fatigue was induced usin…
