Recently, it has been suggested that MF can affect sports performance. However, a structured view detailing the influences of MF on children and adolescents was not aggregated for systematic evaluation. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to evaluate the literature on the impairment of sports performance due to MF in children and adolescents. METHODS: Studies designed to test whether MF influenced the performance of a physical task or influenced physiological and/or perceptual responses during sports practice in children and adolescents were searched in the Pubmed electronic database. RESULTS: Twelve articles were included, five of strong quality and seven of moderate quality. The main result was impaired technical performance and increased perceived exertion in the MF condition. CONCLUSION: Technical performance and perceived exertion seem to be consistently impacted by MF. Physical performance and physiological factors still require further research.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/fadiga mentalperformanceadolescentesbachelorThesis
