خلاصة:
The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of ego depletion on arousal of elite Iranian swimmers. The
sample comprised elite swimmers invited to the national swimming team as focused and semi focused (36 subjects).
The research design was as pre- and post-test—in two phases of ego depletion conditions and the lack of ego
depletion conditions in two experimental and control groups. The arousal was measured by a biofeedback device,
and Stroop test was conducted in order to create ego depletion conditions. The results showed that ego depletion had
no effect on the arousal of elite swimmers. In other words, the results showed that depletion of strength sources of
self-control had no effect on elite swimmers’ arousal. The findings—based on the theory of community facilities and
the self-control model—showed that arousal is actually an accelerator and moderator of using self-control sources; it
is not a factor using self-control sources and, also, ego depletion is not involved in arousal changes.

"This theoretical assumption has been given empirical support, and studies have shown that those with ego depletion in the case of arousal, emotional, and attention regulation or complex cognitive operations, get worse functions.
Tasks that require self-control can have a preventive effect on the next self-control task, even if tasks are seemingly unrelated to each other; for example, adjusting a person’s emotions could impair a function, like solving a difficult puzzle, squeezing a rubber ring, keeping in mind mental representation in working memory, or reading the colour of words printed in Stroop test (4, 9, 12, 13).
After determining the basic level of arousal, using Stroop Test, the ego depletion cognitive state was made for a person and immediately after Stroop efforts; completion using biofeedback subjects’ arousal was recorded.
Also, the results of analysis of one-way covariance showed that to test the main hypothesis of the study, after adjusting pre-test scores in arousal variable, no significant difference was found between the scores of post- test in both control and experimental groups.

Several studies have shown that ego depletion of participants in actions that need arousal, emotion, and attention regulation, or complex cognitive operations, had the worst performance."
