How long can you hold on? Physical self-efficacy predicts performance estimation accuracy independent of leisure-time physical activity

Physical self-efficacy was positively associated with the congruency between estimation and objective performance, independent of leisure-time physical activity. These findings contribute to self-regulation research by emphasizing self-efficacy as a key factor in performance estimation accuracy, prioritizing cognitive mechanisms over behavioral engagement in self-assessment, and highlight its potential relevance in coaching and self-regulation.
