Stress can be defined as a state of increased psychological, physiological and behaviourial preparedness. A stress reaction is a normal reaction that is considered necessary rather than harmful. Physical activity is generally deemed a stress factor that activates our physiological stress systems in the same way as exposure to psychological stress. The following chapter describes acute stress re...
