dc.description.abstract | Abstract: This research analyses the effects of mindfulness meditation (MM) and physical exercise
(PE), practiced as daily recovery activities during lunch breaks, on perceived stress, general mental
health, and immunoglobin A (IgA). A three-armed randomized controlled trial with 94 employees
was conducted for five weeks including two follow-up sessions after one and six months. Daily
practice lasted 30 min maximum. Perceived stress and general mental health questionnaires and
saliva samples were used. There were significant differences in time factor comparing pre- and
post-test of Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) both for PE [Mdi = 0.10, SE = 0.03, p = 0.03], and
for MM [Mdi = 0.09, SE = 0.03, p = 0.03]. Moreover, there were significant differences of interaction
factor when comparing MM vs. PE in total score at pre-post [F = 2.62 (6, 168.84), p = 0.02, !2 = 0.09],
favoring PE with medium and high effect sizes. Regarding General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)
variable, practicing MM showed significant effects in time factor compared to pre-Fup2. No significant
di erences were found for IgA. Thus, practicing both MM and PE as recovery strategies during lunch
breaks could reduce perceived stress after five weeks of practice, with better results for PE. Moreover,
practicing MM could improve mental health with effects for 6 months. | es |
