Summary

Mindful walking is a meditation practice that combines physical activity and mindfulness practice. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions provided for increasing physical activity among adults with low physical activity levels. A randomized controlled trial design will be utilized, with an intervention and waitlist control group (N = 160). Outcomes measured include physical activity, sleep quality, and functional fitness. Participants will receive a total of eight sessions of 60-minute mindful walking training within four weeks. The intervention group will receive the training in Weeks 1-4 and the control group will receive the training during Weeks 5-8. Each training group will consist of up to 20 individuals. Data will be collected at baseline, four weeks, and eight weeks to determine the efficacy of the intervention.
