    Managing stress through sports can have positive or negative impacts on health. Positive stress, called eustress, results from challenges that motivate improvement, while negative stress, or distress, stems from threats and elicits anxiety. Acute stress from short-term challenges like exercise may be exhilarating, whereas chronic stress from long-term issues like loss of a loved one can damage mental, physical, and spiritual health over time. Regular sports help manage stress by providing an outlet for emotions and keeping the immune system strong to prevent disease.

    or demand. The imbalance between the

    anxiety. Some responses like being irritated,
    frightened, or anxious can cause headache
    or stomachache.

    efficient functioning.
    Types of Stress

    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.
    Types of 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.
