Physical activity as a means of stress prevention

the paper looks at the role of physical activity as an effective means of stress prevention. In a modern society characterized by high levels of stress and emotional stress, physical activity is becoming an important tool for maintaining psycho-emotional health. The mechanisms of the effects of exercise on the body, including the production of endorphins, improving mood and reducing anxiety, are being investigated. Various types of physical activity, such as aerobic exercise, yoga and strength training, and their effects on stress resistance are also analyzed. The article presents the results of scientific studies confirming the positive effect of regular physical activity on reducing stress and improving the overall quality of life. In conclusion, the need to integrate physical activity into daily life as one of the key aspects of stress prevention and mental health maintenance is emphasized. The relevance of the study is due to the especially high burden on students and young professionals, for whom stress often becomes an obstacle to successful studies and professional growth. In conditions of limited resources and dynamically changing working conditions, physical activity acts as an affordable means of prevention that can be easily integrated into everyday life without significant material costs [1].
