Implicit and explicit learning strategies and fatigue: an evaluation of throwing task performance by Reihaneh Banihosseini, Behrouz Abdoli, Maryam Kavyani

“…Mental fatigue was induced using a 30-minute color-word Stroop task, while physical fatigue was elicited by requiring subjects to maintain 50% of their maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) in elbow extension for a 2-minute duration.ResultsThe results revealed that the implicit learning group exhibited improved performance under fatigue conditions and outperformed the explicit learning group significantly, regardless of the type of fatigue.ConclusionThis results suggests that implicit learning may improve motor performance even under fatigue conditions.…”
