Abstract

This study examined the effect of Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment-Physical (MAC-P) on anaerobic performance. The MAC-P specifically designed for anaerobic training, and has its validity and reliability. The study used non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. Research instrument consisted of Wingate Test to evaluate anaerobic performance in terms of peak power, mean power and anaerobic fatigue index. Subjects were semester one Coaching Science students from Sultan Idris Education University, divided into MAC-P (n = 21), PST (n = 21) and control (n = 21) group. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) showed significant effect of the intervention on the achievement of post anaerobic peak power [F(2, 59) = 19.18, p < 0.05] and mean power [F(2, 59) = 3.60, p < 0.05]. However, the interventions did not have significant effect on post anaerobic fatigue. In conclusion, the MAC-P has prominent effect on anaerobic performance and attempts to be an alternative towards improving anaerobic performance. This finding can be used as a reference for coaches to improve anaerobic performance among athlete.

Highlights

Anaerobic parameters play a major role in physical activity which requiring the use of ATP-CP energy or lactate energy systems
The pairwise comparison tests showed no significant differences between Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment-Physical (MAC-P) and Psychological Skill Training (PST) groups (p > 0.05), and PST and control group (p > 0.05)
The highest available post anaerobic mean power test score is for Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment (MAC)-P group (M = 466.22), compared to PST group (M = 448.72) and control group (M = 425.28)

Summary

Introduction

Anaerobic parameters play a major role in physical activity which requiring the use of ATP-CP energy or lactate energy systems. The 30-second Wingate test can be used to examine the endurance and anaerobic power in an all-out maximum effort that lasts 30 seconds with a resistive load added equal to 5% of participant's body weight It determine an anaerobic capacity level based on peak power, mean power, relative power, total work and fatigue index (McArdle et al, 2015). Therapy (ACT) to improve mindfulness 4) Identify the characteristics of cognitive fusion and cognitive defusion in anaerobic exercises 1) Explain the importance of value in determining commitment to a significant life situation 2) Explain the function of brief centering training in improving mindfulness 3) Explain the purpose of mindfulness training 4) Performing a briefing centering and mindfulness technique 5) Determine the value in anaerobic training activities 1) Identify acceptance verbs in the process of cognitive defusion 2) Comparing the difference in experiential acceptance and experiential avoidance 3) Improve the level of brief centering and mindfulness 4) Identify acceptance verbs in anaerobic training situations 1) Use imagery method to identify changes in behavior, cognitive and physiology during the Wingate test.
