Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does mindfulness-based Tai Chi improve inhibitory control and reduce mobile phone addiction in male university students? Does mindfulness-based Tai Chi enhance overall executive functions, including inhibition, updating, and shifting abilities? Researchers will compare the experimental group (receiving mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention) to the control group (maintaining their usual routine without intervention) to see if mindfulness-based Tai Chi leads to greater improvements in cognitive and executive functions and reduces mobile phone addiction.
Participants will:
Practice mindfulness-based Tai Chi for 8 weeks Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments of mobile phone addiction, mindfulness levels, and executive function Engage in weekly Tai Chi practice sessions Complete self-report diaries of mobile phone usage and mindfulness experiences

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Male students not majoring in physical education. Aged 18 years or older. Moderate mobile phone dependence, with a score above 40 on the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI).
No regular exercise habits. Willing to participate in an 8-week mindfulness-based Tai Chi training and sign informed consent.
No serious medical conditions. The control group will not receive any special exercise intervention, while the experimental group will undergo an 8-week mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention. Participants' mobile phone addiction, mindfulness levels, and executive functions will be assessed before and after the intervention. The study will explore the potential mechanisms by which mindfulness-based Tai Chi improves mobile phone addiction.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
The exercise time lasts 40 min each time, including 5 min of wuji pile practice with positive thoughts, 30 min of eight styles of Tai Chi Chuan practice (4 min\*6 sets, 1 min interval between sets), and 5 min of relaxation part of wuji pile with music. The exercise frequency is 3 times a week.
The mindfulness-based Tai Chi Chuan
Studies have shown that compared with the Tai Chi Chuan, MTCC is more relaxing to practitioner. The Tai Chi Chuan section is based on the Yang's movements, which not only conform to the basic technical characteristics, such as the steps, stance, techniques, movement of the center of gravity, and the coordination of the whole body between the movements, but also are clear, smooth, simple, easy to learn, and beautiful. The mindfulness section is complemented by soothing, soft music to guide the practitioner to focus on himself and return to inner peace. The essence of the program is to help practitioners focus their attention and achieve inner peace during practice. Through the practice of MTCC, practitioners are encouraged to face the difficulties they encounter in reality and to develop a positive and open mind to deal with negative emotions and thoughts in daily life.
Control group
The control group maintained their normal physical activity levels without any additional intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
