Among 1897 original hits, thirty-two eligible RCT studies included systematic review, which seven involved meta-analysis. results showed that effective promoting athletes’ performances (by narrative synthesis), mindfulness-level (n = 3; SMD 0.50, 95% CI [0.17, 0.83]; I2 45%, p 0.16), 5; 0.81, [0.53, 1.10], 77%, =0.001), while no significant intervention found athletes 4; −0.03, [−0.35, 0.29], 89%, < 0.001).
