The goal of this study is to learn if an online physical activity program called "Brain Breaks" can improve well-being among university students. It will also explore how physical activity relates to dynamic balance, emotion regulation, and resilience. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the Brain Breaks program increase students' dynamic balance? Does it affect emotion regulation, or resilience? Researchers will compare a group that does Brain Breaks activities to a group that does not, to see if the program has positive effects. Participants will: Take part in an 8-week program If in the Brain Breaks group, do short 5-10 minute physical activity videos, five times per week

Participants in the intervention group will engage in "Brain Breaks" - short, structured physical activity breaks delivered via video. Each session lasts 5-10 minutes and includes movements such as jumping jacks, marching in place, and dynamic stretching. The intervention will be performed once per day, 5 times per week, for a total of 8 weeks. The videos are designed to be fun and engaging, requiring no additional equipment.
