An empirical examination comparing the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment approach and Psychological Skills Training for the mental health and sport performance of female student athletes (2016, background): “This finding adds to a growing body of literature suggesting that mindfulness- and acceptance-based interventions can be effective in improving sport performance (Gardner & Moore, 2004; Goodman et al., 2014; Schwanhausser, 2009; Thompson et al., 2011; Wolanin, 2005).”
Effects of Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) on Sport-Specific Dispositional Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, and Self-Rated Athletic Performance in a Multiple-Sport Population: an RCT Study (2019, methodology): “Inspired by contemporary clinical research regarding the efficacy of mindfulness- and acceptance-based interventions (MABI) (Khoury et al. 2013), Gardner and Moore (2004) introduced the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) protocol, specifically designed to enhance athletic performance.”
Acceptance: An Historical and Conceptual Review (2010, background): “…integrated into alcohol relapse prevention programs (e.g., Marlatt, 2002), and theory suggests that they may have value in combination with hypnotic procedures (Lynn et al., 2006), in enhancing athletic performance (Gardner & Moore, 2004), and in suicide prevention (Williams & Swales, 2004).”
Mindfulness for Long-Distance Runners: An Open Trial Using Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) (2009, positive): “Additional literature (Benson, 1975; Gallwey, 1974; Gardner & Moore, 2004, 2006, 2007; Goleman & Schwartz, 1976; Gontag, 2004) was integrated into the manual along with suggestions from Bruce Beall (personal communication, September 20, 2006), an Olympic rower who participated in and coauthored a…”
Psychometric Properties of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire–II for Chinese College Students and Elite Chinese Athletes (2014, methodology): “Acceptance is the willingness to fully experience cognitions, emotions, and physiological states, not for the purpose of reducing discomfort, but rather for achieving long-term value-based goals (Gardner & Moore, 2004).”
Mindfulness and acceptance approaches to sporting performance enhancement: a systematic review (2017, methodology): “Four papers explored the performance benefits of the MAC protocol: one RCT (Zhang et al., 2016), one non-randomised controlled trial (Hasker, 2010), and two before–after comparisons (Gardner & Moore, 2004; Lutkenhouse, 2007).”
Application of the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) Protocol With an Adolescent Springboard Diver (2009, methodology): “…are often recommended for performance enhancement interventions, whereas those meeting criteria for Performance Dysfunction require interventions that target both performance enhancement and subclinical concerns (which are likely negatively impacting performance; Gardner & Moore, 2004b).”
The Effect of Mindfulness Training on Athletes’ Flow: An Initial Investigation (2011, methodology): “First, they were similar to the ones that were successfully employed by Gardner and Moore (2004). Second, they reflect the type of somatic awareness training that is characteristic of mindfulness interventions in the research literature (e.”
Relationships between mindfulness, flow dispositions and mental skills adoption: A cluster analytic approach. (2008, background): “In an earlier attempt to study mindfulness among athletes, Gardner and Moore (2004) presented two case studies highlighting the potential efficacy of their mindfulness-based intervention program in which they termed the Mindfulness–Acceptance–Commitment approach.”
Mindfulness and Acceptance Approaches in Sport Performance (2009, methodology): “Moore (2003) and Gardner and Moore (2004, 2006, 2007) suggested based on theoretical and empirical findings that these traditional psychological skills training processes present some limitations and insufficient efficacy findings.”
International society of sport psychology position stand: Athletes’ mental health, performance, and development (2017, background): “Although there are many protective factors to buffer against stress in relation to mental health, mindfulness-based interventions have been at the forefront of intervention since Gardner and Moore’s seminal mindfulness-based work began in 2001 (Gardner & Moore, 2004; Moore & Gardner, 2001).”
Theoretical and Empirical Developments of the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) Approach to Performance Enhancement (2009, methodology): “…of greater importance, studies evaluating the mechanisms by which optimal performance actually occurs suggest a very different finding than would be predicted by the theoretical model from which PST interventions have been devised (see Gardner & Moore, 2004, 2006 for a comprehensive review).”
Attentional focus in endurance activity: new paradigms and future directions (2014, background): “Furthermore, the case study of Gardner and Moore (2004) involved an athlete with specific anxiety-related disorders.”
One year follow-up of mindful sport performance enhancement (MSPE) with archers, golfers, and runners. (2011, positive): “…with the growing body of evidence indicating that mindfulness and acceptance-based sport interventions have the potential to enhance athletic performance (Bernier et al., 2009; Gardner & Moore, 2004, 2007; Lutkenhouse et al., 2010; Moore, 2009; Schwanhausser, 2009; Wolanin & Schwanhausser, 2010).”
