Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of mental fatigue (MF) induced by 30 minutes of social media use on neck kinematics and neck muscle biomechanical properties in young male athletes. Twenty-five participants are enrolled in a single-blind cross-sectional design. Baseline and post-MF assessments include cervical range of motion measured with a CROM device, forward head posture evaluated using craniovertebral angle analysis, and muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity measured with MyotonPRO. MF is induced through 30 minutes of Instagram® use on a smartphone and quantified with a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). No results or conclusions are provided in this section.
Detailed Description: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mental fatigue (MF) induced by 30 minutes of social media use on neck kinematics and the biomechanical properties of the neck muscles \[upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid (SCM), semispinalis (SS), and splenius capitis (SC)\] in young male athletes. Twenty-five young male athletes are enrolled in a single-blind cross-sectional study. Participants undergo assessments at baseline and again following MF induction. These assessments include cervical range of motion (CROM) measured with a validated CROM device, forward head posture (FHP) evaluated via craniovertebral angle (CVA) photometric analysis, and muscle biomechanical properties (tone, stiffness, elasticity) measured using the MyotonPRO device. Mental fatigue is induced through 30 minutes of Instagram use on a smartphone. MF severity is assessed using a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). No results or conclusions are reported in this section.
