The study involved 149 participants.
In a randomized trail they were split into three groups:
1-Those who participated in mindless meditation
2-Those who had regular moderate-intensity exercise
3-A control group that did neither.
Group 1 had 257 days of the cold or fluGroup 2 had 241 days
The control group had 453 days.
The study ran from September 2009 to May 2010.
