“…Frontiers in Public Health | www.frontiersin.org (34,62,63)] This may be the reason for the study of Filipas et al (54) to recruit 4 weeks of the training programme and counter mental fatigue, rather than 2 weeks of training. The majority of extracted studies recruited prior mental exertion, which tested inhibition, such as thought suppression (1,19,(45)(46)(47), letter typing (50,52), four consecutive tasks (53), and a Stroop task (49,51).…”

BackgroundPrior mental exertion consumes self-regulation and influences any subsequent physical or cognitive performance according to the strength model of self-regulation. However, the counteractive effect of self-regulatory strength training remains unclear.ObjectiveThis study aims to report a comprehensive systematic review investigating self-regulatory strength training programmes on physical or cognitive performance.MethodsTo select relevant studies from the available literature, a thorough search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost (CENTRAL, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, SPORTDicus), Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as the sources of reference for gray literature. Only randomized controlled trials involving healthy humans, strength-based self-regulation training programmes with comparable protocols, and a physical or cognitive task associated with the study were selected for the current review. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used to develop the summary of findings.ResultsTwelve articles were included based on the selection criteria. Evidence certainty for outcomes was graded as either low or very low level. The majority of the studies reported that self-regulatory strength training programmes can significantly counter prior mental exertion and decrement of performance, while only one study did not find such improvement. According to the strength model, a period of training increased the ‘self-regulatory muscle.'ConclusionStrength is an important ingredient in the resource model of self-regulation and can be trained to counter prior mental exertion and improve subsequent physical and cognitive performance. The training effects are cross-domain (e.g., emotional and cognitive domains; higher and lower levels of executive functions). However, motivation plays a key role to mobilize this resource. Future studies should examine the mechanism that underlies the strength.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-1-0060/, identifier: INPLASY202210060.

“…However, the current review ( Table 1 ) found inconsistent evidence, as there are only two studies that showed the level of RPE was significantly different in the mental fatigue group ( Badin et al, 2016 ; Fortes et al, 2021a ). That is, the reductions of skilled performance could not be attributed to RPE, including technical and decision-making skill.…”

“…Inconsistent with the model, only Badin et al (2016) and Fortes et al (2021a) reported a significantly different RPE between the experimental and control group (see Table 1 : outcome). Other studies did not detect any difference between mental fatigue and the control group regarding RPE and motivation level (e.g., Smith et al, 2016a ; Filipas et al, 2021b ).…”

“… Sun et al (2022a) showed that 12.50 min may be the optimal choice for nature exposure. However, some studies showed that long time (e.g., 30 min) screen exposure could induce fatigue ( Fortes et al, 2021a ,b). That is, players may be fatigued again, if natural stimuli (e.g., scene) are presented for too long time on the screen, the relationship being inverted U-shaped.…”

Nature exposure might be the intervention to improve the self-regulation and skilled performance in mentally fatigue athletes: A narrative review and conceptual framework

BackgroundDue to causing inability of self-regulation (ego depletion) and executive functions such as directed attention and visual searching for relevant information (e.g., the ball location and the position of teammates), mental fatigue impairs skilled performance in various sports. On the other hand, natural scenes could improve directed attention, which may considerably benefit visual searching ability and self-regulation. However, nature exposure as a potential intervention to improve skilled performance among mentally fatigued athletes has not been discussed thoroughly.PurposeTo propose the potential intervention for the impairment of skilled performance among mentally fatigued athletes and generate a framework for future studies.MethodsA narrative review was applied to search broadly across disciplines, retrieving literature from several databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCOhost).ResultsThirty-three works of literature including 39 experiments (mental fatigue 15; ego depletion 5; and nature exposure 19) were obtained. Finally, a conceptual framework was built regarding the effect of nature exposure intervention on skilled performance in athletes for future studies.ConclusionThree theories (the psychobiological model of exercise performance, the strength model of self-regulation, and attention restoration theory) could be potentially integrated to be a conceptual framework and explain the mechanism of preventing prior mental exertion (e.g., mental fatigue and ego depletion). Future studies could examine more on the duration of the intervention.

“…Mental fatigue as a novel topic. It has been investigated particularly thoroughly in sports, such as soccer [ 101 ], basketball [ 24 , 102 ], badminton [ 103 ], swimming [ 104 ], and Australian football [ 105 ], showing that it impairs subsequent performance. Future studies could consider further interventions to counter these adverse effects.…”

The Counteractive Effect of Self-Regulation-Based Interventions on Prior Mental Exertion: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials

et al. 2022

Background: Many investigations have been performed on the effects of mental exertion that consumes self-regulatory resources and then affects physical and/or cognitive performance later on. However, the effect of manipulating self-regulation and interventions to attenuate this negative effect remains unclear. Moreover, there is continuous controversy regarding the resource model of self-regulation. Objective: We conducted a systematic review to assess the literature on manipulating self-regulation based on four ingredients (standard, monitoring, strength, and motivation) in order to counter mental exertion and improve physical and/or cognitive performance. The results provide more insight into the resource model. Method: A thorough search was conducted to extract the relevant literature from several databases, as well as Google Scholar, and the sources from the references were included as grey literature. A self-regulation intervention compared to a control condition, a physical and/or cognitive task, and a randomised controlled trial were selected. Result: A total of 39 publications were included. Regarding the four components of self-regulation, the interventions could mainly be divided into the following: (i) standard: implementation intervention; (ii) monitoring: biofeedback and time monitoring; (iii) strength: repeated exercise, mindfulness, nature exposure, and recovery strategies; (iv) motivation: autonomy-supportive and monetary incentives. The majority of the interventions led to significant improvement in subsequent self-regulatory performance. In addition, the resource model of self-regulation and attention-restoration theory were the most frequently used theories and supported relevant interventions. Conclusion: In line with the resource model, manipulating the four components of self-regulation can effectively attenuate the negative influence of mental exertion. The conservation proposed in the strength model of self-regulation was supported in the current findings to explain the role of motivation in the self-regulation process. Future studies can focus on attention as the centre of the metaphorical resource in the model.
