This study is a preparatory research in which three archers were experimented to verify if an MBSR program as taught in the spirit of the CFM(Center for Mindfulness) could improve the mental health and playability of professional athletes. The questionnaires on five facet mindfulness and anxiety were conducted before and after the program. During the tracing process, an interview was conducted with a questionnaire based on the participant"s inner experiences.
Analyzing the test results, it shows that mindfulness level and confidence increased, whereas cognitive and physical anxiety levels decreased. An in-depth interview outcome reports a lise in confidence on the ability to attain a positive life. These outcomes demonstrating a possible improvement of games and positive quality of life allow expectations for the future. Finally, the significance and limitations of this study and the implications for follow-up studies were discussed.
