Exercise to enhance your stamina

Labels: , Posted by Vina Revi on Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 4:05 PM

What is the relation between exercise and our stamina against stress? Physical exercise has to do with stress in two different terms. Firstly, exercise lowers mental and physical tension including the physiological changes associated with stress. Secondly, the exercise itself is a stressor to the body, changing the nutrition use pattern and increase the needs for a certain nutrients.

Our body does not give fight or flight response in most of psychological stressors. Thus the feeling of stress and the product of physiological stress will accumulate. An intense physical exercise is meant to wipe out this product of stress. The dangerous substance is removed from within our body. When exercise stops, our body will return to normal in the form of relaxation. In addition, physical workout in some way direct our mind and attention away from the stress and make us relaxed both mentally and physically.
