Sex: MALE
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 21

Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: The study will select male university students. Inclusion criteria include:

Male students not majoring in physical education. Aged 18 years or older. Moderate mobile phone dependence, with a score above 40 on the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI).

No regular exercise habits. Willing to participate in an 8-week mindfulness-based Tai Chi training and sign informed consent.

No serious medical conditions. The control group will not receive any special exercise intervention, while the experimental group will undergo an 8-week mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention. Participants' mobile phone addiction, mindfulness levels, and executive functions will be assessed before and after the intervention. The study will explore the potential mechanisms by which mindfulness-based Tai Chi improves mobile phone addiction.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether an 8-week mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention can improve cognitive and executive functions, particularly inhibitory control, and reduce mobile phone addiction in male university students. It will also explore the potential mechanisms by which mindfulness-based Tai Chi affects mobile phone addiction behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does mindfulness-based Tai Chi improve inhibitory control and reduce mobile phone addiction in male university students? Does mindfulness-based Tai Chi enhance overall executive functions, including inhibition, updating, and shifting abilities? Researchers will compare the experimental group (receiving mindfulness-based Tai Chi intervention) to the control group (maintaining their usual routine without intervention) to see if mindfulness-based Tai Chi leads to greater improvements in cognitive and executive functions and reduces mobile phone addiction.

Participants will:

Practice mindfulness-based Tai Chi for 8 weeks Complete pre- and post-intervention assessments of mobile phone addiction, mindfulness levels, and executive function Engage in weekly Tai Chi practice sessions Complete self-report diaries of mobile phone usage and mindfulness experiences
