摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy on cognitive and resilience abilities of blind athletes. The population included all blind athletes in Golestan, Iran (30 individuals) that were selected by available sampling method. Data were collected using cognitive abilities scale and resiliency scale. The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the scores related to cognitive abilities and resilient in post-test among the two experimental and control groups (p<0.01). It can be concluded that the intervention is effective and improves the cognitive ability and resilient of athletes blind, due to the higher mean scores of the experimental group in the post-test phase. Moreover, mindfulness-based therapy as a cognitive-behavioral third wave therapy can be effective in improving the cognitive abilities and resilience of blind individuals in the field of sports competition.
