Fatigue of the nervous system after performing a test of repeated sprint ability (RSA) in juvenile soccer players

Introduction and objectives


Several authors have studied the influence of exercise on the nervous system and cognitive performance in untrained subjects and different stimuli such as intense anaerobic exercise to exhaustion, and submaximal endurance exercises using the Flicker Fusion Threshold (UFF). The effect on the central nervous system stimulation in repeated sprints testing has not been studied. The aims of this work are study the changes in Flicker Fusion thresholds before and after a test of repeated sprints (RSA) in soccer players, to evaluate the fatigue of the central nervous system.
