The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) over the motion-sensitive midtemporal area on perceptual–cognitive skills (visuomotor and basketball decision-making skills) in mentally fatigued basketball players. A total of 20 male basketball players were recruited. This was a randomized, double-blinded, and counterbalanced crossover study with two experimental conditions: a-tDCS and Sham. The participants completed the basketball decision-making task and visuomotor skill after performing a 60-min sport-based videogame task with anodal (i.e., a-tDCS) or placebo (Sham) stimulation over the motion-sensitive middle temporal area. Worse response time was observed in visuomotor skill for Sham than a-tDCS postexperiment (p < .05). There was no main condition effect for accuracy of visuomotor skill (p > .05). There was more impairment in accuracy and response time in basketball decision-making skills for the Sham condition than a-tDCS (p < .05). Notably, a-tDCS over the motion-sensitive middle temporal area removed the negative effects of mental fatigue on perceptual–cognitive skills.

本研究的目的是分析阳极经颅直流电刺激 (a-tDCS) 对精神疲劳篮球运动员的感知认知技能（视觉运动和篮球决策技能）的运动敏感中颞区的影响。共招募了20名男篮运动员。这是一项随机、双盲和平衡交叉研究，具有两个实验条件：a-tDCS 和 Sham。参与者在对运动敏感的中颞区使用阳极（即a-tDCS）或安慰剂（Sham）刺激进行60分钟的基于运动的视频游戏任务后，完成了篮球决策任务和视觉运动技能。观察到 Sham 的视觉运动技能的响应时间比 a-tDCS 实验后更差（p < .05)。视觉运动技能的准确性不存在主要条件效应( p  > .05)。与 a-tDCS 相比，Sham 条件下篮球决策技能的准确性和响应时间受损更多（p  < .05）。值得注意的是，运动敏感中颞区的 a-tDCS 消除了精神疲劳对感知认知技能的负面影响。
