Research has shown that mindfulness in athletes is associated with positive outcomes. We therefore assessed the effect of mindfulness training on increasing mental toughness (MT) and psychological well-being (PWB).
This was a parallel-group, pre-and post-test, randomised controlled pilot trial. Forty-five female athletes from Iranian universities in Tehran were randomly assigned into experimental ( = 23) and control groups ( = 22). Forty-two completed the trial. The mindfulness training group received the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment programme for 7 weeks. All subjects completed the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport (MIS), Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire and PWB Scale. Data were analysed using mixed analysis of variance.
Mindfulness training increased mindfulness in the experimental group ( < 0.01). In turn, increased mindfulness led to increased MT and PWB at 2-month follow-up ( < 0.05).
Given that mindfulness training may increase the MT and PWB of athletes, these techniques should be considered for inclusion in sports coaching.
研究表明,运动员的正念与积极结果相关。因此,我们评估了正念训练对提高心理韧性(MT)和心理幸福感(PWB)的影响。
这是一项平行组、前后测试、随机对照试验。来自德黑兰伊朗大学的 45 名女运动员被随机分配到实验组(n=23)和对照组(n=22)。42 名运动员完成了试验。正念训练组接受了 7 周的正念-接纳-承诺训练。所有受试者都完成了运动正念量表(MIS)、运动心理韧性问卷和 PWB 量表。使用混合方差分析对数据进行分析。
正念训练显著提高了实验组的正念水平(<0.01)。反过来,正念水平的提高导致了 2 个月随访时 MT 和 PWB 的提高(<0.05)。
鉴于正念训练可能会提高运动员的 MT 和 PWB,这些技术应该被考虑纳入运动训练中。
