Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the benefits of mindfulness training during an acute bout of physical activity. We will compare the combination of mindfulness training and physical activity to mindfulness training alone and physical activity alone in three 20 minute sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We will investigate whether mindfulness training during a single bout (20 minutes) of physical activity influences ratings of perceived exertion, feeling states and physiological response (blood pressure and heart rate) during physical activity. Changes in affect and cognitive function pre- and post- physical activity bout will also be assessed. The effects of mindfulness training during an acute bout of physical activity will be compared to mindfulness training alone and acute physical activity alone. This research will contribute to larger questions of how to increase rates of physical activity in the general population and make physical activity more enjoyable.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Acute Physical Activity + Mindfulness training

20 minutes of walking on a treadmill at a moderate pace while listening to a pre-recorded guided mindfulness meditation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acute Physical Activity and Mindfulness Training Together

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will listen to a pre-recorded mindfulness meditation which will guide them through a 6 minute stretching session, 1 minute transition to treadmill, 3 minute warm up at a participant chosen pace on the treadmill, 20 minutes of walking at a moderate pace at target heart rate, 3 minute cool down at 2.0-2.5 mph, 1 minute transition off treadmill and 2 minutes of stretching.

Mindfulness training

Participants will lie down and listen to a pre-recorded guided mindfulness meditation for 20 minutes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindfulness Training Alone

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will lie down and listen to a pre-recorded guided mindfulness meditation for 36 minutes.

Acute Physical Activity

20 minutes of walking on a treadmill at a moderate pace.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acute Physical Activity Alone

Intervention Type OTHER

Physical activity will include a 6 minute stretching session, 1 minute transition to treadmill, 3 minute warm up at a participant chosen pace on the treadmill, 20 minutes of walking at a moderate pace at target heart rate, 3 minute cool down at 2.0-2.5 mph, 1 minute transition off treadmill and 2 minutes of stretching.
