TLDR
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.

Losing control

Scott Davidson
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: This column looks back at the days when the authors had direct, tactile control of their appliances and wonders what impact the loss of this control is having on their children's interest in engineering.

Effects of Prior Cognitive Exertion on Physical Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Denver M. Y. Brown, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cognitive exertion has a negative effect on subsequent physical performance that is not due to chance and suggest that previous meta-analysis results may have underestimated the overall effect.

The effect of ego depletion or mental fatigue on subsequent physical endurance performance : A meta-analysis

Louis-Solal Giboin, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2019 - 
TL;DR: This article performed a meta-analysis to quantify the effect of ego depletion and mental fatigue on subsequent physical endurance performance (42 independent effect sizes) and found that ego depletion or mental fatigue leads to a reduction in subsequent performance, and that the observed reduction in performance is higher when the person-situation fit is low.

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

Ian M. Taylor, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
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.

The effects of depleted self-control strength on skill-based task performance.

Desmond McEwan, +2 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: Evidence that ego depletion effects occur in the performance of a skill-based sports task performance is provided, with evidence that consistency in reaction time improved significantly for the control group but not for the experimental group.

Conscious and unconscious: Toward an integrative understanding of human mental life and action.

Roy F. Baumeister, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficacy of conscious thought and the scientific viability of free will have been discussed, and the authors explore and elucidate the areas of agreement among these areas of disagreement.

Ego depletion and persistent performance in a cycling task

Christoph Englert, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the assumption that persistent performance in an exhausting indoor cycling task would depend on momentarily available self-control strength (N = 20 active participants) was tested, and the results indicated that self control strength is necessary to obtain an optimal level of performance in endurance tasks requiring high levels of persistence.

Adequacy of the Sequential-Task Paradigm in Evoking Ego-Depletion and How to Improve Detection of Ego-Depleting Phenomena.

Nick Lee, +2 more
- 09 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The strength model of self-control was tested using a " sequential-task " paradigm in which participants engaged in two consecutive tasks, and reduced performance on the second task constituted support for the ego-depletion effect.

I want to keep on exercising but I don’t: The negative impact of momentary lacks of self-control on exercise adherence

Chris Englert, +1 more
- 01 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of state and trait self-control strength on exercise execution and found that daily stress is associated with selfcontrol depletion and a lower likelihood to work out.
