A three-week mindfulness intervention on mental skills, internal-load regulation, and performance in youth swimmers: a randomized controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of a three-week mindfulness intervention on mental skills and internal-load regulation in youth swimmers. The study compares an experimental group receiving pre-swim mindfulness sessions against a control group following standard training, assessing outcomes such as heart rate variability, perceived exertion, and performance metrics. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in sports psychology and the physiological impacts of mindfulness on athletic populations.
