The most common eating disorder is overeating which is seen in obese or overweight people. Overweight people have problems with eating habits and mental health, and there are little evidence of the effectiveness of neuro- linguistic programming (NLP) interventions in improving healthrelated outcomes. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of NLP method on eating attitude and mental health of overweight people.

This quasi-experimental study was a pre-test, post-test and 3-month follow-up with a control group. The study population was overweight people referring to nutrition clinics and health centers in Dehdasht, Iran in 2019. Based on inclusion criteria, 24 people were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly allocated in two equal groups. The experimental group received 10 two-hour sessions for five weeks of NLP training and the control group did not receive training. Data were collected using the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21).

There was no significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of gender, marriage, education and employment (P> 0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference between the groups in the pre-test stage in terms of eating attitude and mental health (P> 0.05), but in the post-test and follow-up phases, a significant difference was recorded in terms of both variables (P <0.05). Also, the NLP method compared to the control group improved the eating attitude and mental health of overweight people and the results were maintained in the follow-up phase (P <0.05).

According to the current findings, planning to use NLP method along with other training methods is necessary to improve psychological characteristics. As a result, health professionals and therapists can use NLP method to improve eating habits and the mental health of overweight people.

Aims: The Neuro-linguistic Programming approach (NLP) refers to a distinct connection between neurological and linguistic procedures and behavioral patterns learned through planning. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training neuro-linguistic programming strategies on self-efficiency, sport self-confidence, and performance of athletes with disabilities and veterans.
In this semi-experimental study with pre-test post-test design with control group, 30 veterans and physically-injured athletes, who were members of 2 sitting volleyball teams (Gostaresh-e-Foolade Tabriz and Shahrdarye Tabriz) were selected by purposeful sampling method and divided in experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The instruments used in this study included general self-efficiency scale, sport confidence questionnaire, and Smith and Hanford functional test. All participants trained special skills during 24 sessions over 2 months. The experimental group, besides specific volleyball exercises, completed 18 sessions (each session took 30 minutes), practicing neuro-linguistic programming strategies. The data were analyzed by SPSS 23, using multivariate covariance analysis and dependent sample t-test.
Findings: In the experimental group, sport confidence (F=33.47) and general self-efficiency (F=41.69) were significantly higher than the control group, and 65.0% and 69.5% of the changes in sport confidence and general self-efficiency were explained by NLP strategies (p Training neuro-linguistic programming strategies increases self- efficiency, sport self-confidence, and performance of athletes with disabilities and veterans.
