Counterproductive Coping Strategies

Coping is defined as the “capacity to respond and recover from something useful” (WHO 1999).
Coping is a conscious response to psychological stress in an attempt to balance mental and emotional
conditions. Both positive and negative incidents need coping skills that will accommodate these changes in life.
These include how to behave, thinking of ideas, and controlling emotions to minimize or tolerate stressful
events.

The Role of Sports in Managing Stress Sports naturally relieve the body from the effects of
stress.

These benefits in reducing physiological and psychological responses to stress are recognized.
Primarily, sports have a lot to do in decreasing muscular tension which helps lessen or dissipate stress. It is
important to be mindful of releasing tension through productive activities. According to many studies, exercise
and sports participation release chemicals called endorphins, which help the body relax, make you feel happy,
and block any feeling of pain.For the biggest benefits of exercise, try to include at least 2½ hours of moderate-
intensity physical activity (e.g. brisk walking) each week, 1¼ hours of a vigorous-intensity activity (such as
jogging or swimming laps), or a combination of the two.
