Abstract

Yokota (2022) conducted a single case experiment on himself to measure cognitive fatigue in soccer games over five weeks. To test the generalizability of the results, this study collected data on 14 university soccer players over a week including two games, also examining the position effects in a team. Cognitive tasks and subjective evaluations were conducted at the pre- and post-game/practice. Results of the Flanker task showed a decrease in reaction time after games, while the number of errors decreased after game1, although increased after game2, suggesting an impact on inhibitory function due to fatigue, because subjective fatigue was greater after game2 than game1. The spatial N-back task showed an increase in errors immediately after games, which was more prominent among defenders than offenders. Results showed commonalities and differences with Yokota(2022) and will be discussed individual differences and/or differences in position in cognitive fatigue in soccer games.
