Description
Summary:The aim of this study in fatigued youngsters was to investigate the influence of club-based and self-regulated sports activities and regular cycling in the period preceding fatigue on the persistence of fatigue. At baseline, fatigue and activity were measured with the subjective subscale scores of the validated Dutch version of the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS-20) 3 ; school absenteeism in the last month by dividing missed classes by scheduled classes; and physical exercises in the period preceding fatigue retrospectively by a questionnaire consisting of the following items: membership of sports clubs (yes/no), self-regulated activities not in sports clubs (yes/no), regular cycling to school (yes/no), and the time spent on these activities.
