Sponsor's own description
Mindfulness and exercise are both widely used to improve mental health and well-being. Some people find that these activities also improve their ability to focus. This study aims to find out whether mindfulness and light exercise could be similarly effective in improving mental wellbeing and engagement at work. The study further investigates the cognitive processes (e.g., memory and attention skills) that might improve as a result of mindfulness and exercise.
