College students faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing a physical activity intervention can help support the physical and mental health of college students. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an aerobic-strength training exercise intervention () and a mindful exercise intervention () in improving resilience and mindfulness among college students. Seventy-two students from a major public university in the Midwest participated in a two-arm experimental study over the course of ten weeks. One week before and after the 8-week interventions, participants completed the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ-15), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and demographic and background questionnaire via Qualtrics. Both groups also participated in bi-weekly Peer Coaching sessions, which utilized reflective journaling and goal-setting exercises. ANCOVA showed a significant main effect of time for total mindfulness score ( = 5.177, < 0.05, = 0.070), mindfulness Acting with Awareness ( = 7.321, < 0.05, = 0.096), and mindfulness Non-Judging of Inner Experience ( = 5.467, < 0.05, = 0.073). No significant main effect of group and interaction effects of time with group were observed for the total mindfulness and the five facets of mindfulness as well as resilience. In addition, no significant main effect of time for resilience was found. We conclude that aerobic-strength exercises and mindful yoga exercises, together with reflective journaling, may be effective in increasing mindfulness in the college population.
大学生在 COVID-19 大流行期间面临独特的挑战。实施身体活动干预可以帮助支持大学生的身心健康。本研究的目的是检验有氧力量训练干预 () 和正念运动干预 () 在提高大学生韧性和正念水平方面的有效性。中西部一所主要公立大学的 72 名学生参加了一项为期 10 周的双臂实验研究。在 8 周干预之前和之后一周，参与者通过 Qualtrics 完成了五因素正念量表 (FFMQ-15)、Connor-Davidson 韧性量表 (CD-RISC-10) 和人口统计学及背景问卷。两组还参加了每两周一次的朋辈辅导课程，该课程利用反思性日记和目标设定练习。ANCOVA 显示总正念得分的时间主效应显著（=5.177，<0.05，=0.070），正念觉察行动（=7.321，<0.05，=0.096）和正念不评判内在体验（=5.467，<0.05，=0.073）。总正念和正念的五个方面以及韧性都没有观察到组的主要效应和时间与组的交互效应。此外，韧性的时间主效应不显著。我们得出结论，有氧力量运动和正念瑜伽运动，加上反思性日记，可能对提高大学生的正念水平有效。
