Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Mental preparation is a fundamental aspect of athletic performance. The investigators present here an experiment aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a blended intervention to promote mindfulness and self-confidence and a reduction of anxiety among professional athletes. Perform-UP Tennis is an application that provides a weekly mental training program to be integrated into the athlete's daily routine. The intervention included eight weekly modules with variable and progressive training and relaxation exercises. Meetings with the athletes took place every 2 weeks. The study involved 41 tennis players who were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental blended group

The experimental blended group (perform-up group) used the application Perform-UP Tennis on their own and also met up with a professional sports psychologist every 2 weeks for debriefing. Participants were asked to answer a series of questionnaires in two separate phases.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Promotion of mental training through mobile application Perform-UP Tennis

Intervention Type DEVICE

Perform-UP Tennis is a sport specific mental training app that integrates breathing, relaxation and na-ture-based guided imagery exercises and aims to promote emotional well-being and the enhancement of mental skills. The app techniques are integrated into a single gradual path that involves increasingly complex breathing and relaxation exercises with increasing duration.

The intervention consists of eight weekly modules over a period of 8 weeks with progressive exercises.

Control group

Participants were asked to answer a series of questionnaires in two separate phases, but they only carried out their classic technical training without integrating the mental training program with the app Perform-UP Tennis.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
