Self-regulatory depletion refers to a state of reduced self-control and has been linked to decreased physical performance in athletes. This study aims to test this relationship by employing a single-blind, crossover, randomised controlled design. Competitive acrobatic gymnasts completed as many push-ups and V-snaps as possible over a baseline, selfregulatory depletion and non-depletion (control) conditions while controlling for sleep and rest periods, and standardising energy intake and circadian timing of testing. Push-up performance was consistent over all conditions; however, V-snap performance decreased significantly following the non-depleted condition. These findings showed self-regulatory depletion does not necessarily manifest as decreased performance in an athletic population.
