Exercise and socialising help students beat stress
According to a new study, college students who exercise vigorously for 20 minutes — at least three days a week — were less likely to report poor mental health and perceived stress. Interestingly, part of the benefits of exercise may come from associated social encounters.
>> The study defined socialising as having five or more friends or spending more than two hours a day with others.
>> The research, done by a US university, surveyed more than 14,800 students and asked them about their exercise habits and their moods.
>> Lead author of the study,Nicole A. VanKim,said socialising is an important aspect of engaging in vigorous physical activity, better mental health, and less perceived stress.
>> The study also found that the students who were more physically active in adolescence were more likely to be physically active in adulthood. ANI
