Introduction: In an era where health and well-being are increasingly prioritized, understanding the impact of physical activity on enhancing the quality of life for middle-aged individuals is particularly important. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of body pump exercises on working memory, mental toughness, and psychological well-being of inactive middle-aged men. Materials and Methods: This study was a semi-experimental study that was conducted with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. For this purpose, 30 men in the age range of 45 to 60 years were voluntarily selected as subjects. At the beginning of the study, participants attended a protocol familiarization session. At the end of this session, baseline (pre-test) values were recorded for working memory using the N-back test, mental toughness using the Sheard Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ), and psychological well-being using the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire. Participants were then randomly assigned to one of two groups: a body pump exercise group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The experimental group followed a body pump exercise program for eight weeks, consisting of three one-hour sessions per week. Forty-eight hours after the final training session, post-test measurements of the dependent variables were conducted under the same conditions and using the same procedures as the pre-tests. Results: The research results showed that 8 weeks of body pump exercises had a significant effect on improving working memory scores, mental toughness, and psychological well-being compared to the control group. Conclusion: Body pump exercises proved to be an effective method for enhancing cognitive and psychological functions in middle-aged individuals. Therefore, incorporating body pump training into daily physical activity routines is recommended for this age group.
