Abstract

Emotional reactions are bound up with physiological reactions. There are investigations which indicate that physical training may have an inhibiting effect on these physiological reactions and therefore also on the emotional reactions which may be associated with emotional stress. The best documentation refers to a favourable effect of physical activity on anxiety states. More research is necessary before it can be stated whether physical training has a positive effect on tolerance for stress and therefore can counteract the development of psychosomatic disorders.
