Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate of effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy based on mindfulness on anxiety, motivations and performance of track and field  athletes. The research method was a semi-experimental design with two groups of uncontrolled. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students of an amateur athletic club in Azadi sport complex, and 20 samples in experiment and control groups [40 samples in total). Using a targeting non-random sampling method, the three tools of Beck anxiety scale [1961), Charbonio Sports Performance questionnaire [2001) and Achievement Motivation Inventory [1994) was used, as well as multivariate analysis of covariance analysis [MANCOVA). The results showed a significant difference between anxiety, developmental motivation, and athletic performance in pretest and posttest in two groups of the experiment and control in athlete students(p<0/001). According to findings, it can be concluded that cognitive-behavioral combination and reduction of anxiety based on mind-awareness could decrease the levels of anxiety and improve the status of motivation and therefore the performance of the sports exercises.
