Mindfulness-based interventions have gained popularity among elite athletes, but their effectiveness for enhancing archery performance remains inconsistent. This study examined the feasibility of a 12-week mindfulness flow program (MFP) specifically designed for archers, and assessed the effect of the MFP on shooting performance. The intervention aims to enhance shooting performance, mindfulness, and the flow state, while reducing post-intervention anxiety.

Primary | Feasibility of the Mindfulness Flow Program (MFP) | To assess the feasibility of the MFP, the athletes completed a feedback evaluation questionnaire adapted from Kuyken immediately after the end of the intervention (Kuyken et al., 2013). The questionnaire included questions about the number of sessions attended, the frequency of mindfulness practice after class, and the likelihood of continuing to use what they had learned from the course and of introducing the course to other athletes. The athletes rated their enjoyment of each session, on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disliked) to 10 (strongly liked). | up to two weeks | |
Secondary | Shooting scores | Shooting scores was assessed using the World Archery Federation's qualifying competition procedures (World Archery Federation, 2022). All of the shooters were required to complete 72 shots. The total scores for the 72 shots were used for further analysis. Higher total scores indicated better shooting performance. | up to 20 weeks | |
Secondary | Cognitive State Anxiety | Cognitive state anxiety was assessed using the the Chinese Version (Cox et al., 2003) of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Questionnaire (CSAI-2; Martens et al., 1990). The cognitive state anxiety scale consisted of nine items. Each item was scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). Higher scores indicate higher cognitive state anxiety level. | up to 20 weeks | |
Secondary | Somatic State Anxiety | Somatic state anxiety was assessed using the Chinese Version (Cox et al., 2003) of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Questionnaire (CSAI-2; Martens et al., 1990). The somatic state anxiety scale consisted of nine items. Each item was scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). Higher scores indicate higher somatic state anxiety level. | up to 20 weeks | |
Secondary | Self-confidence | Self-confidence was assessed using the Chinese Version (Cox et al., 2003) of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 Questionnaire (CSAI-2; Martens et al., 1990). The self-confidence scale consisted of nine items. Each item was scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much so). Higher scores indicate higher self-confidence level. | up to 20 weeks | |
Secondary | Mindfulness | Mindfulness were assessed using the Chinese version (Deng et al., 2011) of Five facets mindfulness questionnaire (FFMQ) (Baer et al., 2006), with 39 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = never or very rarely true; 5 = very often or always true). Higher scores indicate higher mindfulness level | up to 20 weeks | |
Secondary | Flow state | Flow state was assessed using the Chinese Version (Liu, 2010) of the Short Dispositional Flow Scale (SDFS; Jackson et al., 2008). The nine SDFS items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always), where a higher score indicates a higher overall flow state. | up to 20 weeks |
