Previous perception studies have shown that physiological changes influence someone’s perception. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of central- and peripheral fatigue on the accuracy of perception of the maximum jumping distance. The participants had to make estimations of maximal jumped distances and had to perform maximal jumps in non-fatigued and in fatigued conditions. Two groups underwent a different intervention, that induced central fatigue (CF group) and peripheral fatigue (PF group). Central- and peripheral fatigue both resulted in less far estimated distances. Peripheral fatigue caused less far jumped distances in contrast to central fatigue, which did not show a decline in jumped distances. There was no difference in accuracy of the estimations within the groups. This indicates that participants are equally accurate in perceiving their jumping capabilities when they are fatigued then when they are non-fatigued. Between groups was a difference for accuracy ratio. This suggests that central fatigue and peripheral fatigue have different effects on the perception of action capabilities.
