“…Collectively, the core affect findings hint at the possibility that the passive synchronous application of music heightened participants' exercise consciousness (cf. [27]) through accentuating their footfall. Ostensibly, the rhythmic emphasis on stride rate can draw the runner's attention to their effort through a sensory feedback loop.…”

This paper presents a project in the art–science nexus. SoundRunner is a platform that exploits the potential of electroacoustic music to create an interactive sound and music-making experience. The project investigates how running performance data can be harnessed in real time to drive musical creation. A range of psychological indices (and associated analyses) are used to assess the effects of the SoundRunner platform on runners. Driven by health and wellbeing imperatives, the project served to augment running experience with unique sound and music. Implications regarding the development of SoundRunner and its application to runners’ coproduction of music are discussed.

“…Mind-body physical activity provides physical and mental health benefits; therefore, MBPA could be a possible solution to physical inactivity, reduce stress and cardiovascular risk, and prevent hypokinetic diseases (Bigliassi, 2020;Brusseau, 2020;Powell et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of a tailored MBPA intervention on well-being, stress, interoceptive sensibility, and objective physical activity (PA) in a sample of college students during COVID-19. Participants were 21 university students (81% were female). The study was conducted within an Interrupted Time-Series Design framework. Self-report data, well-being (WHO-5), stress (PSS-4), and interoceptive sensibility were collected at six time points. Objective PA data were assessed using a wrist-worn ActiGraph GT9X accelerometer over three 7-day periods, at baseline, mid-and postintervention. Mixed design Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests with repeated measures showed that participants’ time spent in light (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was significantly higher during and at the end of the intervention compared to baseline (LPA [F (2, 36) = 11.9, P = .003, partial eta-squared = 0.39]; MVPA [F (2, 36) = 11.2, P < .001, partial eta-squared = 0.38]). It was found that participants’ subjective well-being main effect for time [F (5, 75) = 1.1, P = .363, partial eta-squared = 0.07], perceived stress [F (5, 75) = 1.2, P = .281, partial eta-squared = 0.44], and interoceptive sensibility [F (1.4, 19.0) = 2.8, P = .097, partial eta-squared = 0.18] did not change significantly; however, the results indicated positive trends. In conclusion, results indicate conducting a more extensive study. The MBPA intervention’s positive effects and trends promise to be a feasible intervention to increase PA among students in higher education.
