I am prepared with my positive attitude and ready to work harder. So here it goes\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">The topic that I have selected for my research project is \u201cmindfulness.\u201d Since I have a strong background in yoga and meditation, I am a believer that mindfulness is a benefit to athletes. According to the literature, mindfulness is, \u201ctraditionally touted in the East for its ability to reduce stress and increase perspective (Dayton, 2015).\u201dThroughout the last few years I have brought this type of practice into the daily training environment with my athletes, and it definitely makes for a more peaceful and motivated atmosphere. It seems that there is an effect on the performance of the athletes, but to what extent does mindfulness play into performance?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">This year I used our research methods class to dive further into the literature in this area, and was able to start to wrap my head around the concept of developing a research question. Mindfulness is a topic that I am interested in. Currently, there is more research being developed and it seems that there is a benefit beyond sports application<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">Research Question:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">What effect does mindfulness intervention have on the performance of athletes? How can we measure this? How can the intervention be delivered to coaches and athletes, so that they are receptive to the desired effect? Will this enhance performance?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">Once I dove deeper into the library, and the literature, I was able to identify the main measurement tools that exist so far; MAC, MSPE, and MT. These are interventions that are delivered in several sessions over a few weeks. \u00a0In the literature, Carra\u00e7a, Serpa, Palmi, and Rosado provide a summary of mindfulness interventions with athletes. They look at all the literature from 1985 to March 2017 in the field of mindfulness practice and performance. They claim, \u201cMAC and MSPE programs as effective on enhancing elite athlete&#8217;s sports performance (Carra\u00e7a, Serpa, Palmi, and Rosado, 2018).\u201dIn this article they evaluate the MSPE and MAC interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">Over the next few weeks this idea is going to become more detailed, as I work through the Annotated Bibliography and Literature Review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e4f3e;\">Wish me luck while I strive to complete my project and find an answer to my question.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">Hello Everyone, It has been a while since I have posted, but it is time to get this last phase&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41342,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1652612],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fall-2017-research-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41342"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":330,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306\/revisions\/330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/jayagymnastics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
