Coping with work stress: Psychological benefits of exercise
研究了体育锻炼作为应对工作压力的心理机制,发现锻炼通过改变自我图式(个人对自己的信念系统)来增强应对资源,并识别了锻炼计划中有效的成分和适合的人群。
Abstract Although the health–enhancing effects of physical exercise have been well documented, less is known about how exercise benefits stressed employees psychologically. This article examines exercise as a coping response, and identifies changes in self–schemata (a person's underlying belief systems about him or herself) as the means by which exercise affects coping resources. In addition, by drawing on schema theory and the exercise literature, the active components of an exercise programme and the individuals who might enhance their ability to cope with stress through such a programme are identified.
