Transient cardiac responses to witnessing horrible events in young adult female exercisers and non-exercisers

摘要

Objectives: It has been proposed that regular exercisers may be less vulnerable to the effects of stress and better able to cope with aversive events than people who are sedentary, but findings have not been consistent. In the present study, physiological variables indicating specific relevant psychological processes were used to objectively assess women's responses to stressful events.
