Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) in sports aims to build and strengthen psychological flexibility among athletes, which, according to theory, can lead to improved performance and enhanced well-being. Research indicated that ACT can be effectively adapted for an internet-based, self-guided intervention format, providing an alternative and cost-effective approach to psychological support in sports. As a contextual approach, however, ACT requires practitioners to consider the contextual and developmental factors of athletes when utilising the approach in applied practice. This paper presents a novel, evidence-informed, internet-based, self-guided acceptance and commitment training (iACT) program for adolescent athletes aged 12 to 15, consisting of 8 modules that synthesise the current best practices among adolescents and athletes. The paper discusses the theoretical foundations and underlying model, as well as the program’s structure and content, which are shared on the Open Science Framework. Furthermore, authors discuss the strengths and limitations of the proposed intervention format and outline options for adapting or further extending the content of the iACT program. Lastly, authors discuss possible venues for following empirical research of its effectiveness, utilising single-case experimental design and controlled trial methodologies.

Piłka nożna jest jednym z najbardziej popularnych sportów zespołowych na świecie. Zarówno piłkarze amatorscy, jak i profesjonaliści narażeni są na wystąpienie kontuzji na treningach i meczach. W celu zmniejszenia tego ryzyka przeprowadzono badanie, które skupiło się na treningu poprawiającym stabilność posturalną, istotną dla zapobiegania kontuzjom sportowym. Badanie obejmowało 20 chłopców w wieku 14–15 lat, trenujących w profesjonalnym klubie piłkarskim. Średni wzrost badanych wynosił 172,0 cm, a masa ciała 58,5 kg. Interwencja polegała na dodatkowych treningach, które odbywały się dwa razy w tygodniu przez okres trzech miesięcy, z wykorzystaniem platformy Delos Postura Proprietary System. Pojedynczy trening trwał 15 minut. W ramach badania piłkarze przeszli test „RIVA”, który obejmował ocenę stabilności posturalnej z zamkniętymi i otwartymi oczami przed oraz po przeprowadzonej interwencji. Wyniki wykazały istotną statystycznie poprawę w obu próbach, odpowiednio 4,3% i 2,1%. Porównując te wyniki z innymi badaniami, można sądzić, że dodatkowy trening w takiej formie może przyczynić się do zmniejszenia liczby kontuzji, szczególnie wśród młodych piłkarzy.

Football is one of the most popular team sports globally. Both amateur and professional footballers face the risk of injuries during training and matches. To mitigate this risk, a study was conducted focusing on training to improve postural stability – a crucial element in sports injury prevention. The study involved 20 boys aged 14–15 years, training at a professional football club, with a mean height of 172 cm and a body weight of 58.5 kg. The intervention comprised additional training sessions held twice a week over three months, utilizing the Delos Postural Proprietary System platform. Each training session lasted 15 minutes. As part of the study, the footballers underwent the ‘RIVA’ test, assessing postural stability with eyes closed and open before and after the intervention. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in both trials, 4.3% and 2.1%, respectively. When compared with findings from other studies, it is reasonable to conclude that this form of additional training may contribute to a reduction in injuries, especially among young football players.c
