About this trial

The goal of this randomized controlled study is to learn whether a 21-day physical resilience (movement-based) program can improve mental well-being, emotional regulation, and academic functioning in university students.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does participation in a 21-day physical resilience program improve students' well-being (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress, affect, life satisfaction, and perceived health)?

Does the program improve students' academic and self-regulatory outcomes (e.g., engagement, burnout, procrastination, productivity, emotion regulation, coping, and self-control capacity)?

Researchers will compare students who complete the physical resilience program immediately to students in a waitlist control group to see whether participation in the program leads to greater improvements in well-being and academic-related outcomes.

Participants will:

Sign up online and provide informed consent

Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or a waitlist control group

Receive daily micro-movement tasks and reminders via Telegram for 21 days (intervention group)

Complete online questionnaire surveys at baseline, post-intervention, and a 2-week follow-up
