Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Exercise and Stress
"Exercise can create a productive form of challenge that strengthens physical and emotional well-being when people believe their effort can influence the outcome. Activities that balance challenge and skill can produce a state of flow involving intense attention and satisfaction. Regular, intermittent exposure to exercise-related stress may improve coping, emotional stability, immune function, performance, and tolerance of future stress."
