气质正念是一种被描述为意识到一个人在日常生活中的行为的倾向的结构。虽然高倾向性正念已被证明有利于改善心理和身体健康，但对于不练习冥想或正念练习的人来说，改善倾向性正念的方法知之甚少。该研究旨在调查（1）是否也可以通过定期有氧运动来训练气质正念，以及（2）气质正念的变化是否与心理和身体健康的变化有关。149名健康男性被随机分配到两个为期12周的干预措施（有氧运动或放松训练）或候补控制条件之一。在干预前后通过自我报告问卷对气质正念和身心健康进行评估。在干预过程中，有氧运动组的气质正念增加，但在放松或等待控制条件下则没有（p = 0.018）。气质正念的增加与心理健康的改善中度相关。这项研究首次表明，气质正念可以通过定期有氧运动来增加。未来的研究需要确定如何最有效地利用有氧运动的正念增强潜力。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Dispositional mindfulness is a construct described as the propensity to be aware of one's actions in everyday life. Although high dispositional mindfulness has been demonstrated to be beneficial for improved mental and physical health, little is known about ways to improve dispositional mindfulness for individuals not practicing meditation or mindful exercises. The study aimed at investigating (1) whether dispositional mindfulness can also be trained by regular aerobic exercise and (2) whether changes in dispositional mindfulness are associated with changes in mental and physical health. 149 healthy men were randomly allocated to one of two 12-week interventions (aerobic exercise or relaxation training) or a waitlist control condition. Dispositional mindfulness and mental and physical health were assessed before and after the intervention by self-report questionnaires. Over the course of the intervention, increases in dispositional mindfulness occurred in the aerobic exercise group but not in the relaxation or waitlist control conditions (p = .018). Increases in dispositional mindfulness were moderately correlated with improvements in mental health. For the first time, this study shows that dispositional mindfulness can be increased through regular aerobic exercise. Future research is needed to identify how the mindfulness-enhancing potential of aerobic exercise can be used most effectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
