“The psychological mechanisms of the benefits of mindfulness training can be mainly summarized as improvements of (1) attention, (2) experiential acceptance, (3) negative emotional regulation (e.g., anxiety and fear), (4) psychological flexibility, and (5) non-attachment and less rumination [9].”
In the citing paper
“Performance can be undermined by non-pathological psychological inhibitors such as cognitive interference (Birrer et al., 2012; Gardner & Moore, 2017).”

“MABI appeared as a promising and holistic approach fostering the development of performance-relevant psychological skills within competitive sport settings (Baltzell, 2016; Birrer & Röthlin, 2017; Birrer et al., 2012; Gardner & Moore, 2012, 2017; Röthlin & Birrer, 2019).”

In the citing paper
“As some athletes said in social validation interviews, mindfulness practice seems more meaningful if it is related to the sport-specific requirements and their individual performance goals (Bernier et al., 2014; Birrer et al., 2012; Josefsson, Tornberg, et al., 2019).”

In the citing paper
“Finally, for time-limited elite athletes, who have few opportunities to practice outside training sessions, MABI needs to integrate specific content during training sessions as much as possible (Birrer et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
