The impact of physical activity on subjective wellbeing in college students: the chain-mediating role of rumination and mindfulness

This study reveals the chain-mediated mechanism through which PA enhances SWB by reducing RT and increasing MDS. These findings highlight the importance of integrating exercise and cognitive regulation in mental health interventions. The study suggests that combining exercise training and MDS interventions may be a more effective strategy for promoting mental health. Future research should explore how different types of exercise affect MDS and optimize exercise-cognitive interventions for specific populations.
