Systematic review of research on the use of mindfulness in physical education
Abstract
Objective: This systematic review aimed to review the articles published in the last six years on the use of mindfulness in physical education at the different educational levels, as well as their main conclusions. Method: Articles published from 2014 to 2020 were analyzed using the ERIC, Taylor and Francis, Web of Science and SCOPUS databases, based on the PRISMA guidelines and the PICO model. The information extracted from the selected articles was: Author and year, country, language, educational level and number of participants, duration, type of research, objectives, results, and mindfulness program used. Results: 15 articles have been included. Most of these articles were published in the United States, without any representation in Spain, and in secondary education, with an average duration of the interventions of 3 to 10 weeks. Regarding the type of research, quantitative versus qualitative stand out. The results confirm the benefits of mindfulness in improving the development of emotional education, mindfulness, awareness skills, self-efficacy, self-regulation, reduction of stress, sports performance and physical activity. The mindfulness programs used were MBP, MAC, MMA, MSPE and MMTS. Conclusions: Despite the corroborated benefits of mindfulness in sports, in Spain, compared to other countries, research on mindfulness and school physical education is practically non-existent, especially at the primary, infant and vocational training levels.
