This systematic review examines the impact of brief mindfulness-based interventions, defined as lasting 30 minutes or less, on short-term sport-related performance. The authors analyzed ten randomized controlled trials to assess outcomes such as precision-based motor skills, tactical performance, and muscular endurance in athletic contexts. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the efficacy and methodological quality of these specific psychological training approaches.
