While the control group is conducting conventionaltraining, so athletic psychological fatigue is relatively weak. And thedegree of athletic psychological fatigue will have different effects toreaction time and correct rates. At the same time, through comparing the experimental group subjects in before and after test,we find that whenhigh intensity training ending, athletic psychological fatigue willcorresponding weakening in a certain period of the, and the grades ofreaction time, correct rate have improved significantly. This suggests thatathletic psychological fatigue will affect the extent of selective attention,and will be accompanied by the degree of athletic psychological fatigueeffect on selective attention will also aggravate.This study finds that in a collegiate athlete groups, athleticpsychological fatigue phenomenon is widespread presence.So, we shouldpay more attention to college athletes.
