Notes
- Abstract:
- The purpose of the following study was to assess the effectiveness of the Mindfulness Meditation Training for Sport (MMTS 2.0) intervention on the psychological readiness to return to sport following an athletic injury. This study was a case study, which only involved one participant. Psychological readiness to return to sport was measured using the Injury Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport scale (I-PRRS). The scale was administered prior to the intervention, mid intervention, and following the six-week intervention. Following the six-week intervention, a qualitative interview was conducted to gain insight on the experience, in which several themes emerged from the interview. The participants’ psychological readiness to return to sport score increased from pre-intervention to post-intervention. Results from this particular study reveal that mindfulness meditation training for sport can assist in increasing psychological readiness to return to sport following injury. Finally, there were four themes that emerged from the qualitative interview including: Learning, Identity, Present Moment, and Adapting. This study helps to provide insight for coaches, athletes, and sport medicine teams to be aware of athletes’ psychological readiness following injury. The overall findings from this study suggest that mindfulness mediation training may assist in increasing psychological readiness to return to sport following injury.
