Summary

This study looks at whether a brief, structured team reflection programme can improve team cohesion, psychological safety, peer trust, and team identification in elite underwater rugby athletes. Twenty-seven male players will take part over 6 weeks, with questionnaires at the start, middle, and end. The goal is to see if simple reflection exercises can strengthen team bonds.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
brief structured team reflection programme
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple ways to improve teamwork and trust in sports teams.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 27 male athletes, so results may not apply to other groups or sports. It only measures feelings, not performance.
