Abstract

Objective: To synthesize and critically appraise recent empirical evidence on the role of mindfulness in optimizing mental health in sports, particularly among athletes and coaches. Method: Employed a systematic literature review using the PRISMA guidelines. Articles were searched through ScienceDirect and Google Scholar using the keywords mindfulness, sport, and mental health. The inclusion criteria covered English-language, open-access journal articles published between 2020 and 2024 that involved athletes or coaches and discussed dispositional mindfulness, mindfulness practice, or mindfulness-based interventions. After screening 65 full-text articles, 14 studies met the eligibility criteria and were analyzed narratively. Results: The findings indicate that mindfulness contributes positively to sports performance and mental health outcomes. Mindfulness-based interventions were reported to improve resilience, self-confidence, emotion regulation, subjective performance satisfaction, mindful awareness, well-being, and sleep quality. In addition, mindfulness helped reduce stress, anxiety, depression, tension, and the likelihood of choking during sports performance. Novelty: The review highlights mindfulness not only as a psychological training strategy to enhance sports performance but also as a promising approach to optimizing mental health in sports. The study also identifies the need for more rigorous randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes and across diverse sports contexts. Furthermore, the findings offer important implications for SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) by supporting the integration of evidence-based mindfulness approaches to promote psychological well-being, resilience, and mental health among athletes and coaches

Abstract

The relationship between sports nutrition and psychological performance has become an important area in sport science. This systematic literature review (SLR) examined the role of sports nutrition in enhancing mental toughness, psychological resilience, and athletic performance. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and employed a structured Boolean search in the Scopus database. Peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2026 were screened. From 411 identified records, 10 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final synthesis. Findings revealed that adequate carbohydrate and protein intake supports neurocognitive functions related to perceived effort and decision-making. Furthermore, targeted supplementation, including branched-chain amino acids, antioxidants, and probiotics, contributes to recovery processes that may reduce anxiety and burnout risk. The review also identified gender-related nutritional disparities and highlighted the gut–brain axis as a promising but underexplored mechanism influencing mental resilience. Overall, nutrition represents a modifiable factor that can strengthen athletes’ psychological performance and mental toughness.

Abstract

This study aims to develop manipulative basic movement learning models based on tradition games at Elementary schools. Research and development method adopted from Borg and Gall was used. The effectiveness of the application of the manipulative basic motion learning model and catch and capture in these students used the "t-test" technique. Before the data were analyzed, the normality test was carried out on the pretest and posttest results of the basic motion manipulative and catch-and-catch using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test at the real level α = 0.05. The results of the manipulative basic motion of throwing catch between the pretest and posttest were obtained at a value of -24,645 at a significance of 0,000. So it can be concluded that the increase in the basic manipulative movement ability of throw and catch before and after learning has increased significantly. The contribution of the basic manipulative motion learning model of catch and capture is 42.21% based on the effectiveness test data at SD Tanamodindi and SD Inpres Lasoani.
