Abstract
Fatigue is common clinical issue, where previous effort, whether physical or mental leads to a reduction in the ability to perform activities. Fatigue severely affects human performance and error rate.
Recently, in addition to researching physical fatigue, great emphasis has been placed on research into mental fatigue. The relationship between the two types of fatigue is intensively investigated.
Exploration of fatigue and its impact on job performance in high-risk military occupations aims to reduce error rates and eliminate potentially large damage, injuries and loss of life. In this review are described the basic theses of fatigue, physiological mechanisms of fatigue and the methods of fatigue research.
