Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan menguji kesan latihan Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment-Physical (MAC-P) untuk meningkatkan kekuatan mental dan efikasi kendiri semasa melakukan aktiviti fizikal. MAC-P digandingkan bersama Psychological Skills Training (PST) dalam kajian ini sebagai latihan mental untuk aktiviti berbentuk aerobik dan anaerobik. Kajian ini telah menggunakan reka bentuk kuasi-eksperimen. Subjek terdiri daripada pelajar semester satu Sains Kejurulatihan, yang diagihkan kepada kumpulan MAC-P (n=21), PST (n=21) dan kawalan (n=21). Instrumen kajian terdiri daripada ujian Bleep dan Wingate, Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ), dan skala efikasi kendiri yang diadaptasi dari Bandura (2006). Analisis Covariance (ANCOVA) menunjukkan kesan intervensi yang signifikan ke atas kekuatan mental [F(2,59)=4.93, p<0.05], dan efikasi kendiri [F(2,59)=38.39, p<0.05]. Semasa pasca ujian, kumpulan MAC-P menunjukkan skor yang tinggi bagi efikasi kendiri (87.12±1.71), manakala kumpulan PST (25.68±0.853) memperoleh skor kekuatan mental tertinggi berbanding kumpulan MAC-P (23.50±.846) dan kawalan (21.91±.0.842). Kesimpulannya, MAC-P dan PST mempunyai kesan signifikan terhadap peningkatan prestasi kekuatan mental dan efikasi kendiri dalam aktiviti aerobik dan anaerobik. Ini menunjukkan bahawa MAC-P boleh menjadi alternatif ke arah peningkatan prestasi fizikal selain daripada PST. Oleh yang demikian, hasil kajian ini boleh dijadikan sebagai garis panduan kepada jurulatih dan individu untuk memperbaiki prestasi aktiviti fizikal, khususnya aktiviti yang berbentuk aerobik dan anaerobik.

This study aims to examine the effects of Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment-Physical (MAC-P) training to improve mental toughness and self-efficacy during physical activities. MAC-P is combined with Psychological Skills Training (PST) in this study as a mental training for aerobic and anaerobic activities. In this study, researchers have used a quasi-experimental design. The subjects consisted of first-semester students of the Coaching Science program, who were assigned to the MAC-P (n=21), PST (n=21,) and control group (n=21). Research instruments consisted of the Bleep test and Wingate test, Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ), and self-efficacy scale adapted from Bandura (2006). The Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) showed significant intervention effects on mental strength [F (2,59) = 4.93, p <0.05], and self-efficacy [F (2,59) = 38.39, p <0.05]. During the post-test, the MAC-P group showed high scores for self-efficacy (87.12 ± 1.71), nonetheless, the PST group (25.68 ± 0.853) obtained the highest mental toughness scores compared to the MAC-P (23.50 ± .846) and control group (21.91 ± .0.842). In conclusion, MAC-P and PST have significant effects on mental toughness performance and self-efficacy enhancement in aerobic and anaerobic activities. The study has suggested that MAC-P could be an alternative towards improving physical performance instead of PST. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as a guideline for coaches and individuals to improve physical activities, especially aerobic and anaerobic activities.
