Abstract
Numerous studies have already proven the positive impact of mindfulness-based interventions on different psychological functions, for example well-being. The aim of the following review is to illustrate the current state of research, as well as the results of all publications that have been taken into consideration regarding mindfulness-based interventions in competitive sports. Three databases were searched for relevant studies. After having applied specific criteria for the selection only three randomized controlled studies remained. The analysis of these three studies indicates that one can presume a positive effect of mindfulness-based interventions on flow experience and athletic performance during competitions, but other theoretical driven studies have to follow.
