Mental Fatigue Effects on Basketball Decision-Making Across Skill Levels

42 male basketball players participated in a study investigating the effects of mental fatigue on sport decision-making. The dataset likely contains results from repeated-measures analyses, including decision accuracy and reaction time metrics before and after fatigue induction. The data was uploaded by Yifan Hu in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between subjective fatigue ratings and decision reaction time based on mediation analysis results
• Compare decision-making performance between higher-skilled and lower-skilled player groups based on group difference statistics
• Model the mediating role of attentional control on decision-making based on bootstrap mediation analysis outputs
• Investigate changes in Flanker task performance under mental fatigue based on RT conflict effect statistics

Strengths

• Dataset includes results from a controlled experiment with 42 participants
• Key statistical results are reported, including F-values, p-values, and effect sizes (η²)
• Robustness checks, such as bootstrap mediation and residualized change-score analysis, were performed

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The participant pool is limited to 42 male basketball players
