The study explores the effect of mindful active breaks—short pauses involving complex movements and body awareness—on the attention levels of university students. Following the intervention, a significant reduction in cognitive interference was observed (p = 0.04), particularly among female students, indicating benefits for inhibitory control. The gap between perceived and actual physical activity highlights the need for greater motor awareness

Abstract

The study explores the effect of mindful active breaks—short pauses involving complex movements and body awareness—on the attention levels of university students. Following the intervention, a significant reduction in cognitive interference was observed (p = 0.04), particularly among female students, indicating benefits for inhibitory control. The gap between perceived and actual physical activity highlights the need for greater motor awareness
