“…Paralympic athletes are likely to experience a range of sport-specific and disability-specific stressors that have the potential to compromise their personal well-being 8 9. It is thus remarkable that there have been so few studies exploring the lived experience of Paralympic athletes, their perception of psychosocial and sport-specific stressors, and their expressed mental health support needs, despite a growing body of literature looking more broadly at the experiences of Paralympians 10–13. The studies included in this review paid scant attention to the sociopolitical nature of disability, and instead tended to focus on issues of individual identity.…”

ObjectivesThis narrative review summarises the literature on the mental health of Paralympic athletes, explores possible reasons for the paucity of research in this area and suggests directions for future research.MethodsA systematic search of PubMed, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was conducted using search terms related to disability, sport and mental health.ResultsThe search yielded 665 publications. Of these, 129 were duplicates, resulting in 536 publications identified for initial screening. A total of 72 publications were to be relevant at initial screening. Only seven publications addressed Paralympic athletes specifically. Of these papers, three included measures of depression and three included measures of anxiety. In the studies that were not concerned with mental health symptoms or disorders, the focus of enquiry included identity and self, stress, and well-being.ConclusionMost of the studies reviewed are small in scale, and there are almost no comparative data on Paralympic versus Olympic athletes. There is a paucity of data on rates of mental health symptoms and disorders in this population and the factors that might contribute to poor mental health among elite athletes with disabilities. We propose that stereotypes about people with disabilities—and the disability rights movement’s rightful reaction to these stereotypes—have created barriers to mental health research among Paralympic athletes. There is a need for enquiry into the differential stressors experienced by Paralympic athletes, including trauma, transition out of sport, sport and personhood, and the potential for disability sport to promote psychological health.

Measurements of anxiety of all table tennis players with the use of Sports Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) with three dimensions which were somatic, worry and concentration disruption developed by Ronald E. Smith, Frank L. Smoll, Sean P. Cumming, and Joel R. Grossbard in 2006 and Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) with three dimensions which were confidence, consistency and control developed by Michael Sheard, Jim Golby, and Anna Van Wersch in 2009 were taken at the beginning of and after the experimental period of six weeks. Results. Significant effect was found in the Main Group at a significance level of 0.05 for dimensions which were sports mental toughness and somatic, worry and concentration disruption from anxiety scale dimensions of table tennis players. Conclusions. The visualization and imagery has been used as an effective tool for enhancing performance. Visual-Motor Behavior Rehearsal is a systematic psychological technique that helps table tennis players in overcoming psychological factors.
