Correlative Aspects Regarding the Resistance to Mental Fatigue and the Junior Gymnasts’ Performance

The purpose of this study consists of analyzing the existing correlations between the resistance to mental fatigue and the performance obtained by gymnasts in a competition. The computerized test RNE (Resistance to Mental Fatigue RNE Test), within PSISELTEVA tests, elaborated by RQ Plus, has been conceived in order to evaluate the resistance to mental fatigue. The subjects who took part in this study are 8 junior gymnasts, from C.S.S. 7 Dinamo Bucharest. Using the Spearman correlation there have been important relations highlighted between the performance coefficient (appreciated through the rapport between the vigilance and the simple reaction time) and the mark obtained in the competition for the following apparatus: rings, parallel bars and horizontal bar.
