First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a program called 'Brain Breaks' — short, fun physical activity videos done for 5-10 minutes, five times a week for 8 weeks — could improve balance, emotional regulation, sleep, and resilience in Chinese university students. 103 students aged 18-26 took part, with one group doing the videos and another group not. The main focus was on balance, measured by how much a person sways while standing.
