Mobile-delivered mindfulness meditation improved mental health indicators among young male judo athletes in South Korea. After the intervention, the mindfulness group showed significant reductions in depression, perceived stress, and anxiety, along with increased self-esteem. Effect sizes ranged from moderate to large. The control group did not show these improvements. The findings suggest that mobile meditation programs can help address mental health challenges in young athletes.
