AB  - Abstract: 
(1) Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to appraise the empirical evidence and refereed literature pertaining to medical students and the integration of mindfulness and physical exercise regimens.
(2) Methods: A systematic review protocol was implemented. Five databases were utilised to survey the salient literature.
(3) Results: The initial search identified 353 potentially relevant articles. After comprehensively reviewing the initial catchment using several analytical phases, 17 articles were considered for the final review. The final review indicated that the research was mainly conducted in the USA with some research originating from Europe, Canada, Jamaica, and India. In addition, a range of research designs were applied to measure or discuss the efficacy of the integrated intervention.
(4) Conclusions: This systematic review demonstrated that when mindfulness and physical exercises are integrated there are likely to be positive health outcomes for medical students.
