Objective:Performance anxiety is one of the psychological factors that can impair motor skill execution in physical education classes.The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an educational mindfulness-based intervention adapted from the core components of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on performance anxiety and motor skill performance in middle school students.Methods:This quasi-experimental study used a pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of seventh- and eighth-grade male students in Ardabil during the 2023–2024 academic year. Two schools were selected through convenience sampling, and 80 eligible students were chosen after initial screening and randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group (40 students in each group). The experimental group received eight 45-minute sessions of the intervention, while the control group continued the regular school program. Data were collected using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 and a motor skill performance test. Data were analyzed using paired-samples t test, independent-samples t test, and analysis of covariance in SPSS.Results: In the experimental group, performance anxiety decreased from 24.85±3.12 to 18.10±2.76, and motor skill performance increased from 14.20±2.45 to 18.75±2.10 (P<0.01). No significant changes were observed in the control group. Analysis of covariance showed that the intervention had a significant effect on performance anxiety (F=14.87, η²=0.28, P<0.01) and motor skill performance (F=17.12, η²=0.31, P<0.01).Conclusion: The findings suggest that a school-based mindfulness intervention can help reduce performance anxiety and improve motor skill performance in physical education classes. However, generalization of the results should be made with caution due to the restricted sample.
