Mindfulness, cognitive load, and performance: examining the interplay of stress and self-regulation in physical education.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study investigates the role of mindfulness practices and self-regulation in reducing cognitive load stress and enhancing physical performance among university students in physical education. Using a comprehensive structural model, the research explains the mediating effect of cognitive load stress and the moderating role of self-regulation in these relationships.
methodsData collected from 498 students were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling, ensuring robust measurement and predictive validity.
resultsThe findings reveal that mindfulness practices significantly reduce cognitive load stress and directly enhance physical performance. Besides, cognitive load stress acts as a mechanism through which mindfulness improves performance, indicating an indirect effect. Moreover, self-regulation strengthens both the direct and indirect pathways, highlighting its role in shaping these relationships.
conclusionThe study contributes to goal-setting theory and stress and coping theory by clarifying the mechanisms linking mental strategies to physical outcomes. IMPLICATIONS: Practical implications suggest integrating mindfulness and self-regulation strategies into physical education programs to foster improved performance and well-being. These insights highlight the value of holistic approaches in educational settings.
