TY - JOUR PY - 1972// TI - Temporary fatigue effects in a gross motor skill JO - Journal of Motor Behavior A1 - Cotten, D. J. A1 - Thomas, J. R. A1 - Spieth, W. R. A1 - Biasiotto, J. SP - 217 EP - 222 VL - 4 IS - 4 N2 - 75 male college Ss were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups to investigate the comparative effects of initial and initial-plus-interpolated total-body physical fatigue upon learning and performance of a gross motor skill. Each S was tested on the Mirror Target Toss Test before and after the appropriate experimental condition allotted to his group: initial, initial-plus-interpolated, and rest. The data were transformed into learning scores by the percent of possible improvement method and analyzed by a simple analysis of variance. Despite substantial effects on the performance curves, neither initial nor interpolated fatigue had any permanent effect on the acquisition of skill.
