Integrating theories of self-control and motivation to advance endurance performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and evaluate various theoretical perspectives on self-control, including limited resources, shifting priorities, and opportunity costs, and propose that attentional, rather than limited resource, explanations have more value for athletic performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prior self-control exertion and perceptions of pain during a physically demanding task

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored whether prior self-control exertion reduces subsequent persistence on a physically demanding task, and whether any observed performance decrements could be explained by changes in perceptions of pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Control and Exercise: A Review of the Bi-Directional Relationship.

TL;DR: In this review, the bi-directional nature of the relationship between self-control and exercise is discussed; higher levels of trait self- Control have been associated with greater exercise performance and adherence; whilst the depletion of state self- control has been shown to decrease performance and persistence on subsequent exercise tasks requiringSelf-control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-control exertion and glucose supplementation prior to endurance performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the effect of self-control during a well-practiced endurance task, the potential for glucose supplementation to moderate this effect, and whether this effect differed over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manipulation of the Duration of the Initial Self-Control Task Within the Sequential-Task Paradigm: Effect on Exercise Performance.

TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided that spending longer on the initial self- control task led to greater detrimental effects on subsequent wall-sit performance time, and longer duration self-control exertion tasks led to increased perceptions of pain and decreased motivation within the first 30 s of the wall- sit task, as well as a greater decrease in motivation across the wall.
