Mindfulness meditation training significantly reduced stress in junior volleyball athletes. Over four weeks, athletes completed three 15-25 minute sessions per week. Average stress scores dropped from 18.21 to 14.07, a 5.20% decrease. The results suggest mindfulness meditation is an effective psychological exercise for lowering stress in this population.
