An increasing number of studies have examined the efficacy of meditation, showing performance enhancement in a variety of sports fields, but few attempts have been made to derive outcomes based on evidence from the preexisting groundwork. The present study empirically reviews reports on meditation in athletes to investigate (a) the efficacy of these interventions in augmenting athletic attainment, (b) the methodological quality of studies (risk of bias), and (c) a possible conceptual framework for how meditation affects athletes' performance.
A systematic search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE (Ovid Medline(R) In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations and Ovid Medline(R)); EMBASE; EBSCO; CINAHL; SPORTDiscuss; and SCOPUS from June 16, 2019 to July 18, 2019. All studies published were screened and included if they met the eligibility criteria. Two independent reviewers assessed the risk of bias and extracted the data. The available evidence was summarized.
Our initial search returned a total of 734 articles. After screening abstracts and full texts, 6 studies were included. Participants reported changes that might be considered positively in sports events after experiencing planned intervention. However, in the methodological quality assessment measured in seven domains of Cochrane criteria, the risk of bias of each study was generally high.
From the results derived, the theoretical insights of imagery, relaxation and self-talk, which can catalyze the development of a new form of meditation program, were obtained. However, given methodological defects of RCTs, further precisely designed RCTs are needed.
越来越多的研究考察了冥想的功效，表明冥想在各种运动领域都能提高表现，但很少有人试图根据现有基础工作的证据得出结论。本研究通过实证回顾运动员的冥想报告，调查（a）这些干预措施对提高运动成绩的效果，（b）研究的方法学质量（偏倚风险），以及（c）冥想如何影响运动员表现的可能概念框架。
从 2019 年 6 月 16 日至 7 月 18 日，在 Ovid MEDLINE（Ovid Medline(R) In-Process & 其他非索引引文和 Ovid Medline(R)）、EMBASE、EBSCO、CINAHL、SPORTDiscuss 和 SCOPUS 中进行了系统检索。筛选并纳入所有发表的研究，如果它们符合资格标准。两名独立的审查员评估了偏倚风险并提取了数据。总结了现有证据。
我们最初的搜索共返回了 734 篇文章。经过筛选摘要和全文，有 6 项研究被纳入。参与者报告说，在经历了计划的干预后，他们在体育赛事中经历了可能被认为是积极的变化。然而，在七个 Cochrane 标准领域评估的方法学质量评估中，每项研究的偏倚风险普遍较高。
从得出的结果中，获得了想象、放松和自我对话的理论见解，这些见解可以促进新形式的冥想方案的发展。然而，鉴于 RCTs 的方法缺陷，需要进一步进行精心设计的 RCTs。
