Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of mindfulness training interventions on the free throw performance of basketball players in stressful situations.

Methods: A 2 (high stress, low stress) × 2 (mindfulness training, placebo) factorial design was used. Seventy-nine male college students majoring in basketball from universities, who had experience in provincial-level or above basketball competitions, were recruited and randomly divided into 4 groups. The mindfulness group received 8 weeks of mindfulness training, with 2 sessions per week and each session lasting 90 min, while the placebo group watched biographical videos of basketball figures during the same period. The Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and a specific free throw scoring method were used to measure mindfulness levels, mental toughness, and free throw performance before and after the intervention. Based on SPSS 25.0 software, statistical analyses were conducted using one-way analysis of variance, the linear response model of the Generalized Linear Model, and Pearson correlation analysis.

Results: Mindfulness training significantly improved the mindfulness levels, mental toughness, and free throw performance of athletes (p < 0.05). There were significant positive correlations among mindfulness levels, mental toughness, and free throw performance (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Mindfulness training is helpful for improving the free throw performance of basketball players in stressful situations.

正念训练干预对压力情境下篮球运动员罚球表现的影响。

目的：探讨正念训练干预对应激情境下篮球运动员罚球表现的影响。方法：采用2（高应激，低应激） × 2（正念训练，安慰剂）因子设计。招募79名有省级及以上篮球比赛经历的高校篮球专业男大学生，随机分为4组。正念组接受8周 正念训练，每周2次，每次持续90 分钟，而安慰剂组在同一时期观看篮球人物的传记视频。采用正念五面问卷、中文版康诺-戴维森弹性量表和特定罚球计分法对干预前后的正念水平、心理韧性和罚球成绩进行测量。采用SPSS 25.0软件进行统计分析，采用单因素方差分析、广义线性模型的线性响应模型和Pearson相关分析。结果：正念训练显著提高了运动员的正念水平、心理韧性和罚球成绩（p p ）。结论：正念训练有助于提高应激状态下篮球运动员的罚球成绩。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
