Fatigue can deteriorate different factors in the performance of learned motor skills. This research was undertaken to elucidate the effect of errorless training on the performance of a throwing task in non-fatigued, cognitively fatigued, and physically fatigued conditions. Methods:16 subjects (males: n= 6 and female: n=10) (age mean: 29 ± 5.63) participated In the acquisition phase, the participants performed 5 blocks of 30 trials of a two- step ball throwing task, starting close to the target, and gradually moving away. 48 hours later, the participants first took part in a retention test of 10 throws, and then, after a mental fatigue protocol of 30 minutes of word-color Stroop test, the first transfer test (10 trials) was taken. 48 hours later, the participants made another 10 trials (transfer 2) after the physiological fatigue protocol (maintaining 50% MVC for 2 minutes). Results: The results of ANOVA with repeated measure showed a significant difference between performance in the retention test and the two transfer tests (p<0.05). Bonferroni test showed better performance in the transfer 1 (p= 0.002) and transfer 2 (p= 0.003) tests compared to the retention). No significant difference was observed between the two transfer tests (p=1.000). Conclusion: Not only did the performance of the throwing task learned through errorless training not deteriorate with fatigue, but it also improved compared to the non-fatigued condition. It is suggested that people specially athletes and coaches to leverage the errorless training method when designing training courses to prevent the deterioration of performance.
