Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of the WorryTree: Anxiety CBT Therapy application in reducing anxiety and enhancing athletes' mental well-being, as well as its impact on academic performance. The experiment involved 60 respondents aged between 23 and 35 years. The study employed a design involving two groups: an experimental group utilizing the specially designed mobile application WorryTree for managing anxiety and a control group that received no digital interventions. The app's core features included interactive meditation sessions and breathing exercises, an emotional journal and mood tracker, a library of stress and anxiety management resources, a personalized support plan, and educational articles on mental health. The findings demonstrated that participants in the experimental group exhibited significantly lower levels of anxiety and improved mental health compared to those in the control group. Specifically, the average anxiety level decreased from 28.5 to 15.7, and mental health indicators improved from 52.3 to 39.2. Moreover, the academic performance of the experimental group also improved, confirming the efficacy of utilizing digital tools in sports education. The practical relevance of this study lies in incorporating digital technologies into athlete training programs, thereby contributing to enhanced mental well-being and academic achievement.
