Our "Hitchhiker's Guide to Physical And Cognitive Effort" is now published in Sports Medicine🎉 Interested in the utility of effort definitions and proxies across domains, check the link ⬇️ link.springer.com/article/10.1... Huge Kudos to @wanjawolff.bsky.social & @israelhalperin.bsky.social 🙏

A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Physical and Cognitive Effort - Sports Medicine

Effort is integral to the regulation of behavior. It can be central for achieving goals in a range of activities, including sports, exercise, learning, and work. For centuries, researchers have tried ...

📣Preprint: More effort, more variability. We formally tested underlying assumptions of effort-performance coupling. ↪️Performance increases non-linearly & becomes more variable at higher effort levels. 📖@ osf.io/preprints/ps... w/ @katjarewitz.bsky.social, @SilasWagner & @wanjawolff.bsky.social

I really enjoyed presenting preliminary findings from our study on the effects of concurrent physical effort on explore-exploit behavior at this year's asp conference in Heidelberg 🚴🏀 Already looking forward to next year 🙃

Physical activity & #exercise require #time & #effort These costs are relatively well characterized separately But they co-occur in real life, & we lack understanding on how people jointly integrate them: Why/When do people choose elevators over stairs? Our brilliant PhD, Sena, explores this! ⚽🧠

Really happy to share that my first PhD preprint is finally out!🥳 We suggest that time and effort should be studied together as a shared experiential cost w/@bcheval.bsky.social, @corimartarelli.bsky.social, Dr. Maltagliati, Dr. Chastin, and @wanjawolff.bsky.social Curious?👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Good listen on the Exploit-Explore continuum w/ @katjarewitz.bsky.social Insightful for parents, coaches, and athletes. The basketball example reminiscent of Gen. Melchett in Blackadder: "Doing precisely what we've done 18 times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time!"

On this week's episode of The Sport Psych Show "Exploit or Explore: Decision Making in Sport" I speak with PhD student Katja Rewitz whose research focuses on human sensations and their influence on decision-making and performance behaviour buff.ly/2kubwcI

I had such a great time on this episode! 🤩 I really enjoyed taking the explore-exploit trade-off beyond theory and discussing its relevance for athletes, coaches, and performance in real sport settings. 🏀🏌️‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Thanks so much for having me @danabrahamspsych.bsky.social

New episode of The Sport Psych Show! On this week's episode "Exploit or Explore: Decision Making in Sport" I speak with University of Hamburg PhD student Katja Rewitz. Katja's research focuses on human sensations and their influence on decision-making and performance behaviour

New preprint 📢 w/ @wanjawolff.bsky.social & @mbieleke.bsky.social we tracked boredom during a cycling task. Perceived effort generally increased over time – boredom didn't. Boredom varied strongly across individuals, and its dynamics predicted persistence beyond effort 📖 osf.io/preprints/ps...

I really enjoyed talking about investigating dynamic decision strategies in sports using the explore-exploit framework at #ISSP in Hong Kong. If you're interested in our recently published work on this topic ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.ps...

#DHPRLab in the ISSP 16th World Congress in Hong Kong! Curious about our talks? Stay tuned 🙌🏼😌 @wanjawolff.bsky.social @senaozayotgonbayar.bsky.social @katjarewitz.bsky.social @lukas-hack.bsky.social Together w/ @corimartarelli.bsky.social, @mbieleke.bsky.social, and Darias Holgado.

Very happy to see this out now in Psychology of Sport & Exercise 🤓 If you’re interested in how the explore–exploit framework helps us study decision-making in sports and exercise, check it out! w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social & @wanjawolff.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📺 A TV team from NDR visited our @dhprlab.bsky.social to learn about our current research & why boredom plays a powerful role in human behavior. You can spend three (German, but hopefully not boring) minutes watching it here: www.ndr.de/fernsehen/se... P.S. Thumbnail is not footage from our lab 😁

📢 New paper 🤩 w/ @katjarewitz.bsky.social & @corimartarelli.bsky.social, we used Bayesian network analyses to study the relationship between exercise boredom, effort value & self-reported exercise behavior. TL;DR: high boredom & low value -> less exercise www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Had a great time presenting our ideas on the utility of studying explore-exploit trade-offs in #sports at the ASP Conference in Bochum! I appreciate the nice turnout - especially for such an early morning session after the social evening 😜🙏 lead: @katjarewitz.bsky.social w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social

🎉 First preprint from my PhD! #excited We suggest that sport & exercise psych should adopt formal decision models to study how high-stakes contexts and self-regulatory demands shape the explore-exploit trade-off. w/ @nicoschuck.bsky.social @wanjawolff.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.31234/osf...
