Soma Analytics enables you to apply various scales, which athlete's will complete after performing a task. You have the option to apply no scales, some, or all available scales. After completing each task, users will submit their responses, which will be stored specifically for that task. These scales can be used to gather additional information.

Rating of Mental Effort Scale

Rating of Mental Fatigue
​

The rating of mental fatigue scale is used to assess an athlete's level of mental fatigue or tiredness upon completing a cognitive task.
