Volleyball is a team sport with high physical and perceptual-cognitive demand, hence, increasing the perception of physical and mental fatigue during a competition. To alleviate fatigue (physical and mental), mindfulness and music have been proposed. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of mindfulness-based mental versus music training on mental fatigue, physical fatigue, and recovery in elite competitive female volleyball athletes using a randomized two-controlled study with follow-up. Participants were 30 elite female Brazilian volleyball athletes. Athletes were randomly assigned to the following groups: 1) mindfulness-based mental training group (MBMT); 2) music-based training group (MBT); or 3) control group (CG). Three variables were evaluated as follows: 1) recovery based on total quality recovery; 2) mental fatigue visual analog scale; and 3) physical fatigue visual analog scale. Regarding recovery, there was no difference between the MBMT, MBT, and CG groups (p > 0.05). A difference in mental fatigue was noted between MBT and CG at follow-up [F(2,26) = 5.71, p = 0.009; large]. Regarding physical fatigue, there was no difference between the MBMT, MBT, and CG groups (p > 0.05). The mindfulness intervention effectively attenuated the mental fatigue caused by competition in volleyball athletes. These results will assist coaches and staff in providing fatigue management and reinforce the applicability of mental training in sports.
排球是一项对身体和感知认知要求都很高的团队运动，因此，在比赛中会增加身体和精神疲劳的感知。为了缓解疲劳（身体和精神），人们提出了正念和音乐。本研究的目的是通过一项随机双对照研究并进行随访，分析基于正念的心理与音乐训练对精英竞技女排运动员的精神疲劳、身体疲劳和恢复的影响。参与者为 30 名巴西精英女排运动员。运动员被随机分配到以下组：1）基于正念的心理训练组（MBMT）；2）基于音乐的训练组（MBT）；或 3）对照组（CG）。以下三个变量进行评估：1）基于整体质量恢复的恢复；2）精神疲劳视觉模拟量表；3）身体疲劳视觉模拟量表。关于恢复，MBMT、MBT 和 CG 组之间没有差异（p>0.05）。MBT 和 CG 在随访时的精神疲劳存在差异[F(2,26)=5.71，p=0.009；大]。关于身体疲劳，MBMT、MBT 和 CG 组之间没有差异（p>0.05）。正念干预有效地减轻了排球运动员比赛引起的精神疲劳。这些结果将有助于教练和工作人员进行疲劳管理，并加强心理训练在运动中的适用性。
