Fiziksel Performans Etkisinde Mental Aktivitenin Elektrofizyolojik Bulgularının Değerlendirilmesi

The present study examines the findings of electrophysiological measurements of two groups related to the correlation of the mental workload paradigm to tiredness. Athletes and non-athletes (sedentary) are investigated as discrete groups. The aim here is to investigate the findings of the resting state brain network and the electrophysiologic measurements during mental performance of these groups and the changes and variations related to these findings. Mental workload is achieved via mental arithmetic backward counting, while aerobic capacity VO2max, EEG, PPG, EDA and ECG are being measured simultaneously, before and after physical performance. The study also discusses the oxygen consumption rate and the heart rate variability (HRV) between the resting state mental performance and the mental workload occurred after physical activity of varying groups. Thus, findings on the investigation of the effects of physical tiredness on the mental workload of the subjects from two different groups, can be summarized as follows: Increase in the alpha suppression and electrodermal activity during mental work performance has been detected. The heart rate variability data has been investigated with nonparametric statistical test. Statistical test results of resting state for eye closed paradigm for frequency range of 0.15–0.4 Hz are determined as statistically significant (p
