Various well-controlled studies have suggested that practitioners in mindfulness can be prone to patient drop-out (e.g., due to chronic stress, pathology, cognitive reactivity), despite researchers having identified the underlying mechanisms that link mindfulness to mental health. In this article, a framework for physical exercise (PE) augmented mindfulness is proposed, which posits that consistently practiced PE before meditation can support (early-stage) mindfulness. Neurocognitive research shows PE (aerobic exercises or yoga) and mindfulness to impact similar pathways of stress regulation that involve cognitive control and stress regulation, thereby supporting the proposed synergistic potential of PE augmented mindfulness. Research focused on the psychophysiological impact of PE, showed its practice to promote short-term neurocognitive changes that can promote both cognitive control and the attainment of mindful awareness (MA). In order to chart dose responses required for protocol development, further research will be presented. Together these findings are discussed in light of future research on this multidisciplinary topic, protocol development, mindful walking, and further application in healthcare and beyond.
各种严格控制的研究表明，尽管研究人员已经确定了正念与心理健康之间的潜在机制，但正念练习者仍容易出现患者退出的情况（例如，由于慢性压力、病理、认知反应性）。在本文中，提出了一个体育锻炼（PE）增强正念的框架，该框架认为在冥想前持续进行体育锻炼可以支持（早期）正念。神经认知研究表明，体育锻炼（有氧运动或瑜伽）和正念会影响涉及认知控制和压力调节的类似压力调节途径，从而支持体育锻炼增强正念的协同潜力。专注于体育锻炼心理生理影响的研究表明，其练习能促进短期神经认知变化，从而促进认知控制和正念意识（MA）的获得。为了确定方案制定所需的剂量反应，将展示进一步的研究。结合这些发现，将根据对这个多学科主题的未来研究、方案制定、正念行走以及在医疗保健及其他领域的进一步应用进行讨论。
