Mindfulness training significantly reduced stress in adult male volleyball athletes aged 17–25. In a small experimental study, eight athletes completed the Perceived Stress Scale before and after the training; the reduction was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The authors conclude that incorporating mindfulness into daily psychological training programs may help athletes manage stress and improve performance.
