Objective: This systematic review aimed to review the articles published in the last six years on the use of mindfulness in physical education. Method: Articles published from 2014 to 2020 were analyzed using the ERIC, Taylor and Francis, Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. Results: 15 articles have been included. Most of these articles were published in the United States, without any representation in Spain. The results confirm the benefits of mindfulness in improving the development of emotional education, mindfulness, awareness skills, self-efficacy, self-regulation, reduction of stress, sports performance and physical activity. Conclusions: Despite the corroborated benefits of mindfulness in sports, in Spain, compared to other countries, research on mindfulness and school physical education is practically non-existent.

Keywords : mindfulness; psychology; sport; physical education.
