“…This is congruent with field studies showing that regular exercise is associated with reduced levels of stress 25) . It further confirms laboratory studies that found reduced stress reactivity among participants with high exercise or fitness levels 38) . Moreover, this finding accords with the notion that self-rated fitness is negatively related to daily stress 15) .…”

Perceived Fitness Protects against Stress‐based Mental Health Impairments among Police Officers Who Report Good Sleep: Markus GERBER, et al. Institute of Exercise and Health Sciences, University of Basel, Switzerland— Objectives This study examined a cognitive stress‐moderation model that posits that the harmful effects of chronic stress are decreased in police officers who perceive high levels of physical fitness. It also determined whether the stress‐buffering effect of perceived fitness is influenced by officers' self‐reported sleep. Methods A total of 460 police officers (n=116 females, n=344 males, mean age: M=40.7; SD=9.7) rated their physical fitness and completed a battery of self‐report stress, mental health, and sleep questionnaires. Three‐way analyses of covariance were performed to examine whether officers' self‐reported mental health status depends on the interaction between stress, perceived fitness and sleep. Results Highly stressed officers perceived lower mental health and fitness and were overrepresented in the group of poor sleepers. Officers with high fitness self‐reports revealed increased mental health and reported good sleep. In contrast, poor sleepers scored lower on the mental health index. High stress was more closely related to low mental health among poor sleepers. Most importantly, perceived fitness revealed a stress‐buffering effect, but only among officers who reported good sleep. Conclusions High perceived fitness and good sleep operate as stress resilience resources among police officers. The findings suggest that multimodal programs including stress management, sleep hygiene and fitness training are essential components of workplace health promotion in the police force.

RESUMENAzofeifa-Mora, C.A. (2018). Revisión de los beneficios de la intensidad y modalidades del ejercicio físico sobre el estrés psicológico. PENSAR EN MOVIMIENTO: Revista de Ciencias del Ejercicio y la Salud, 16(1), 1-21. El propósito de esta revisión sistemática fue hacer un recuento de los principales resultados de la intensidad del ejercicio físico, así como del entrenamiento aeróbico, fuerza muscular, yoga, tai chi y pilates como estrategias de afrontamiento en la disminución del estrés psicológico. Para ello se realizó una búsqueda en diversas bases de datos (Google Académico, SportDiscus, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer Link) de artículos científicos publicados desde el 2010 hasta el 2017, bajo las siguientes palabras claves (en español e inglés): estrés psicológico, ejercicio, entrenamiento aeróbico, fuerza, yoga, pilates, tai chi, intensidad, cortisol y actividad física. Para un total de 32 artículos

“…Over time, regular aerobic activity can lead to what has been called "Cross-Stressor Adaptation (CSA)", the idea that regular exercise leads to changes that result in reduced physiological responses in the face of (non-exercised induced) stress, and a faster return to homeostasis (Klaperski, Von Dawans, Heinrichs & Fuchs, 2012). Regularly performed exercise is believed to have an overall beneficial effect in terms of managing both immediate stress and the consequences of chronic stress.…”

“…Exercise induced reduced cardiovascular reactivity in the face of chronic stress may provide a cardioprotective benefit, and reduce the risks of age-associated cardiovascular disease (Spalding, Lyon, Steel, & Hatfield, 2004). Studies demonstrating a reduction in cortisol secretion in aerobically trained individuals (Klaperski, et al, 2012) indicate that regular aerobic exercise may protect against the development of metabolic disorders, including diabetes (Kyrou & Tsigos, 2009). …”

"By definition, of course, we believe the person with the stigma is not quite human. On this assumption we exercise varieties of discrimination, through which we effectively, if often unthinkingly, reduce his life chances." -Erving Goffman, Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity, 1963 FITNESS AND FATNESS 3 Research QuestionWhat is the relationship between fat-shaming/obesity stigma and health behaviors of overweight and obese people, specifically their disposition to physical activity and exercise? AbstractObesity is widely accepted as one of the major health crises facing the United States, and increasingly, the world. Labeled a disease by the American Medical Association, and frequently characterized as an epidemic, obesity is the target of high profile national health interventions, media campaigns, and a multi-billion dollar self-help industry. The message produced by public health agencies is that obesity is a killer, and that reducing weight is a beneficial and achievable goal generating many positive health outcomes. This paper presents two primary arguments that counter the prevailing attitudes towards obesity: that as a stand-alone measure, Body Mass Index (BMI) is a poor metric for gauging health status of individuals; and that current public health messaging, with its implication that being fat is an inherently unhealthy and undesirable state, is counterproductive to the intended goal of motivating the public to engage in exercise and healthy dietary habits. Via a literature review and a survey, I demonstrate that obesity stigma and fat-shaming create an environment that stimulates and perpetuates poor lifestyle choices, and subjects fat people to dangerous psychological and physiologic stress.I also provide data demonstrating that cardiovascular fitness is a more meaningful health measure than is BMI. It is my contention that public health messaging should stop focusing on weight, drop references to weight reduction as a meaningful health goal, and instead FITNESS AND FATNESS 4 focus on goals of increased cardiovascular health and the development of healthy dietary habits.Keywords: BMI, body mass index, obesity, stigma, fat-shaming, weight-bias, exercise, stress FITNESS AND FATNESS 5 The Case for StigmaAt the time of its 2010 publication Vital Signs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that over 72 million Americans were obese (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). The CDC reported strong associations between obesity and the leading causes of death worldwide, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers. They further cite poor mental health outcomes and reduced quality of life as additional potential consequences of obesity (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d.). Given disease status by a controversial vote of the American Medical Association in 2013 (AMA, 2013; Pollack, 2013), obesity is the target of high profile national public health interventions, media campaigns, and a 60 billion dollar U.S. weight loss industry (Th...
