After each sequence we will evaluate whether athletes behaved functionally in the last sequence. We will ask the athletes themselves to rate the last end curling , the last 5 points volleyball , the last two games or the tiebreak tennis , or the last period hockey. It is common practice in other studies using ambulatory assessment to use only a few items to keep the interference of the measurement to a minimum e. To assess FAB, athletes will rate the following questions from 0 no agreement to total agreement on a tablet computer using a scroll bar:.

Secondary outcomes are negative outcome expectancies assessed directly before the game or match as well as somatic and cognitive competition anxiety directly after the game or match , which are all measured by the respective scales of the Competition Anxiety Inventory State CAI-S [ 11 ]. We will use all these measurements in all three study groups to examine whether changes are specific for the expected groups. Use of psychological skills manipulation check for PST will be assessed by the subscales self-talk , imagery , goal-setting , activation and relaxation of the Test of Performance Strategies TOPS [ 65 ].

Being able to control emotions and thoughts will be measured by the TOPS subscales emotional control and negative cognitions. To assess perceived attention control in games or competitions , we will use the respective subscale of the TOPS. In addition to basic demographic factors i. We will use the short version of the Brief Symptom Inventory BSI [ 68 ] to assess clinical level of psychopathology. In psychotherapy, treatment expectancies have been shown to predict change in outcome variables e. All analyses will be conducted as intent-to-treat.

Two-way group x time repeated measures ANOVAs will be used to answer the question regarding whether the intervention independent variable had an effect on the primary and secondary outcome measures dependent variables. Significant overall effects will be followed up with post hoc tests and contrasts between intervention programs e.

If there are significant differences between different intervention sub-groups, we will perform multilevel analyses. To test the mediation and moderation models, we will follow the requirements for mediation and moderation suggested by Hayes [ 36 ]. The first three authors of this manuscript will have access to the full dataset. This study is the first to examine the effectiveness both PST and MI in the same randomized controlled trial.

We will assess FAB as the primary outcome measure of this study; however, we also investigate psychological variables that may negatively influence FAB i. Both interventions are hypothesized to improve FAB and reduce the extent of psychological variables that may prevent FAB compared to a waiting-list control group.

If the interventions are effective, both PST and MI may be considered empirically validated methods to help athletes behave functionally, which can be considered a prerequisite for performing optimally. Besides investigating the effectiveness of the two interventions, the current study intends to examine potential mechanisms of change and moderators of outcome. Therefore, we will hopefully not only be able to answer the question whether the interventions work, but also how, under what conditions, and for whom.

While the question of how to perform optimally in competition or a game is not the only reason why athletes seek the advice of a sport psychologist, 6 it is a very common, perhaps even the most common reason [ 30 ]. The frequency of this issue being presented underlines the importance of defining FAB as construct and operationalizing it as an outcome measure of sport psychological interventions. Assessing FAB might also help to solve the problem that in researching sport psychological interventions, an abundance of outcome variables is used, which makes it difficult to compare different sports.

Also because objective parameters of athletic performance are heavily influenced by physical and external factors, using FAB as an outcome is an attractive alternative. The use of the ambulatory-assessment method has the advantage of being very close to what athletes are actually doing and experiencing in games or competitions i.

The critical points of this method include the fact that it is time-consuming and hardly explored in sport psychology. In subsequent studies, one could expand the assessment of FAB via ambulatory assessment by having athletes rate video recordings of behavioral sequences within the ongoing competition. Real live measurement is an increasingly used assessment method that offers many additional research options in elite sport.

Future studies might use the presented study protocol to examine the effect of PST and MI on other psychological phenomena that may disturb or facilitate FAB and that are not part of the current study, for example, rumination over mistakes. As we assume FAB to be important in every sport i.

Furthermore, future research may gainfully examine other personality traits potentially influencing i. The proposed study is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation governmental funding. The study has undergone peer-review by the funding body. PR constructed the design of the study and drafted the manuscript. DB constructed the design of the study and revised the manuscript.

SH participated in the design of the study and revised the manuscript. MGH constructed the design of the study and revised the manuscript. All authors contributed to refinement of the study protocol and approved the final manuscript. The study will be conducted in accordance with APA ethical guidelines. All participants will be asked to provide written informed consent to participate in the study and for the anonymous publication of their data. Confidentiality and anonymity will be assured. In beach volleyball we would analyze the first two sets as this is the minimum amount of sets in one game.

Sport psychology, Intervention, Randomized controlled trial, Psychological skills training, Mindfulness, Performance enhancement, Elite sport, Athletic performance, Ambulatory assessment. Background Sport psychologists try to teach athletes how to perform optimally on the highest possible level even under challenging and non-optimal conditions.

Psychological skills training PST encompasses a set of techniques, namely self-talk , imagery , goal setting , and arousal regulation [ 33 , 74 ]. Mindfulness-based interventions MI refer to interventions that foster mindfulness. Effectiveness of PST and MI randomized controlled trials on athletic performance There is evidence from case studies and correlational research that use of self-talk, imagery, goal-setting, arousal-regulation, and mindfulness are all related to objectively measured athletic performance or performance-related psychological variables see [ 24 , 63 ], for an overview.

FAB as an alternative outcome variable in sport psychological interventions? Mediators To investigate how PST and MI may promote functional athletic behavior we will examine underlying mechanisms of change and to what degree these mechanisms are specific or shared by PST and MI.

Method Participants and power analysis The target group are elite, sub-elite, and recreational athletes from four sports curling, volleyball, i. Open in a separate window. Measures Primary outcome measure We will assess FAB as the primary outcome measure using an ambulatory assessment 1 procedure, that samples subjective psychological variables in real time and the natural environment [ 72 ]. To assess FAB, athletes will rate the following questions from 0 no agreement to total agreement on a tablet computer using a scroll bar: Rate regardless of the result or outcome: In the last sequence , my movements and actions were of a high quality precise, energetic, well timed, etc.

In the last sequence , I was focused on the task. Secondary outcome measures Secondary outcomes are negative outcome expectancies assessed directly before the game or match as well as somatic and cognitive competition anxiety directly after the game or match , which are all measured by the respective scales of the Competition Anxiety Inventory State CAI-S [ 11 ].

Mediators We will use all these measurements in all three study groups to examine whether changes are specific for the expected groups. Inclusion criteria and common factor We will use the short version of the Brief Symptom Inventory BSI [ 68 ] to assess clinical level of psychopathology. Statistical analysis All analyses will be conducted as intent-to-treat.

Discussion This study is the first to examine the effectiveness both PST and MI in the same randomized controlled trial.
