This study applied machine learning (ML) models to classify mental fatigue in U15, U17, and U19 male players using wearable signals, tracking data, and psychophysiological features. Over six weeks, training loads were monitored via GPS, psychophysiological scales, and heart rate sensors, analyzing variables such as total distance, high-speed running, recovery state, and perceived exertion. The data preparation process involved managing absent values, applying normalization techniques, and selecting relevant features. A total of five ML models were evaluated: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Decision Tree (DT). XGBoost, RF, and DT achieved high accuracy, while KNN underperformed. Using a correlation matrix, average speed (AvS) was the only variable significantly correlated with the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) (r = 0.142; p = 0.010). After dimensionality reduction, ML models were re-evaluated, with RF and DT performing best, followed by XGBoost and SVM. These findings confirm that tracking and wearable-derived data are effectively useful for predicting RPE, providing valuable insights for workload management and personalized recovery strategies. Future research should integrate psychological and interpersonal factors to enhance predictive modeling in the individual long-term health and performance of young football players.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app15073718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,28]],"date-time":"2025-03-28T04:36:48Z","timestamp":1743136608000},"page":"3718","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Player
