摘要

This study explored the experiences of active individuals in a four-week mindfulness-based physical activity program using the Netflix series “Headspace: Guide to Meditation.” Ten female participants, aged between 18 and 24 years (M = 20, SD = 0.70), underwent semi-structured interviews following the mindfulness intervention. Retrospective thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring themes among participant experiences of the technology-delivered mindfulness intervention. Themes that emerged included the following: Combining mindfulness with exercise (35% of the coded data), Perceived consequences of mindfulness (31% of the coded data), Experience with video delivery (14% of the coded data), Defining mindfulness (11% of the coded data), and Challenges to practicing mindfulness (9% of the coded data). These findings suggest that technology-delivered mindfulness practices enhance exercise outcomes and equip participants with the foundational understanding and practical application of mindfulness, extending their relevance to emotional regulation and attentional focus across various life domains. Integrating mindfulness techniques into physical activity programs fosters holistic well-being and resilience within exercise, contributing to both physical and mental health outcomes.
