Summary

This study looked at how mental fatigue affects reaction time and game performance in 45 male esports players aged 18-30. Researchers used a Stroop test to cause mental fatigue and then measured performance with Aim Lab and reaction time tests. The goal was to see if motor imagery (mentally practicing movements) could reduce the negative effects of fatigue.
