Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of self-control approach in the form of self-talk on the performance and self-efficacy of elderly men.
Methods: Thirty elderly men, with an age range of 60 years and above and an average age of 65.5, were selected voluntarily. First, a pre-test of balance performance was taken. Then, the subjects were divided into three groups of 10: self-control self-talk, instructor-controlled self-talk, and a control group. The participants practiced balance training with self-talk for 5 sessions. After the last training session, a post-test and a retention test were taken after 72 hours. Along with these tests, the participants completed a self-efficacy questionnaire. After completing the research steps, the information obtained was analyzed through analysis of variance.
Results: Results demonstrated significantly superior performance in self-talk groups compared to controls during both acquisition and retention phases (p < .05). Additionally, these groups exhibited significantly higher self-efficacy measures.
Conclusion: Collectively, findings indicate that self-talk as a self-control strategy serves as an effective cognitive intervention for enhancing motor performance and self-efficacy.
