Managing Stress through Sports

Is there a positive or negative stress?

Stress-is your body’s reaction to challenge or demand. The imbalance between the
demand from the environment and the person’s ability to cope can trigger feeling
anxiety. Some responses like being irritated, frightened, or anxious can cause
headache or stomachache. Eustress-positive reaction to stress to overcome a
challenge. Distress-results from something bad and we react negative.

Types of Stress

Negative Stress-it is a contributory factor for minor conditions such as headaches,

digestive problems, skin complaints, insomnia, and ulcers. Excessive, prolonged,
and unrelieved stress can have harmful effect on mental, physical, and spiritual
health.

Positive Stress or Eustress-stress can have a positive impact, spurring motivation

and awareness., providing the stimulation to cope with challenging situations. It
provides a sense of urgency and alertness needed for survival when facing
threatening situations. Positive stress (as against distress) is desirable for efficient
functioning.
Acute Stress-this deals with pressure of the near future or dealing with the very
recent past. Activities like running or exercising on a treadmill is an acute stressor.
Some experiences like riding a roller coaster is an acute stress but may be
exhilarating. Since it is short term, it does not have enough time to do the damage
like long term stress.

Chronic Stress-this is a Long-Term Stress having serious health consequences

leading to memory loss, decreased drive for eating, loss of concentration etc.
women can take long term stress better than men showing the same maladaptive
changes. Men cope with short term stress better. Such stress can be caused due to
say loss of promotion, death of loved one etc.
