Abstract
The flow state has materialized as a condition of possibility for the search for the best performance in sports, both individual and collective. The objective of this systematic review of studies was to identify which form the “state of flow” influenced the sports performance of team sports athletes. Up from references to selected databases (for example, Web of Science Core Collection; SPORTDiscus (EBSCO-Host); PsycINFO and Pubmed), the results showed that 1946 articles were obtained, with the exclusion of duplicate studies (n = 407). Among the 46 articles that emerged from the analysis, the data excluded 37 studies, and considering an amount of 9 articles which were included in the final section of the systematic review and carried out in the period from 2015 to 2020. As a result, the flow state enhances a full absorption involvement of team-sport athletes. Emotional states tend to be part of an athlete's success. Knowing the three essential fields that comprise this scope (flow-mindfulness-performance) allows us to raise questions for the future, inherent to the effects of performance and the magnitude of the athlete's response depending on their individual characteristics, action possibilities, task constraints, and how much this influences their state of flow at the individual and collective levels.
