Independent effects of mental fatigue and drop height on drop jump performance in American football athletes: an exploration of central-peripheral interaction
Under MF conditions, athletes' performance in average power output, RSI, and RSR declined, suggesting a reduction in central nervous system efficiency. Additionally, increasing the drop height to 40 cm or above significantly reduced jump height and RFD, and increased K<sub>leg</sub>. However, no interactive effects between MF and drop height were observed.
