NCT ID NCT07200219
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a four-week mental training program could help athletes feel more motivated to achieve their goals. Fifty licensed athletes took part, with half receiving the training and half not. The training included techniques like goal setting, positive self-talk, and relaxation. Researchers measured motivation before and after the program to see if it made a difference.
