“…However, the lack of correlation between BES, SES and training variables appears to be consistent with the results presented by A. Hubbs et al (2012). Moreover, it is also suggested that this problem should be considered in the aspects of training motives, as well as its effectiveness in terms of achieving success in sports.…”

“…Self -esteem is considered as a primary element of welfare (Rosenberg, 1965). Majority of researchers (McAuley et al, 2005;Griffin, Kirby, 2007), despite the complexity of the problem (Hubbs, Doyle, Bowden, Doyle, 2012;Ziemianek, Jendrysik, Horodecki, Knapik, 2015), consider physical activity as beneficial for self -esteem. Analysis of average values and median of SES of the respondents (Table 1) may lead to conclusion that mutual relations between activities and SES are generally favourable.…”

Supplementation is one of the forms of powerlifting training support. It may have an influence on physical parameters of the contenders and may also have an impact on perception of the body and self-esteem. The aim of the study was to assess relationships between age, BMI, data concerning training, supplementation, self-assurance and body value among the contenders practising powerlifting. 51 people who regularly practise powerlifting: 11 women aged 23.5 ±3.6 and 40 men aged 23.9 ±8.5 have been examined using self-esteem (SES) and body-esteem (BES) questionnaires. Data concerning age, BMI, training variables and supplementation have been also gathered. Supplementation is used by 91% of women and 85% of men. Men use more types of supplements than women (p < 0.05). Among women SES does not correlate with any other variables. Among men SES negatively correlates with the number of used supplements, as well as with all of the BES domains. Using supplementation among people who train powerlifting is rather common. Among women, SES in not related in any way with training or supplementation. Among men, lower self-esteem (SES) is significantly counterbalanced with BES.

“…For instance, in two cross-lagged studies, exercise at time 1 did not predict stress at time 2 [20, 110]. Furthermore, several studies have found no relationship between stress and exercise constructs [111, 112] or relationships that were positive instead of negative [113, 114]. …”

The Effects of Stress on Physical Activity and Exercise

Background Psychological stress and physical activity (PA) are believed to be reciprocally related; however, most research examining the relationship between these constructs is devoted to the study of exercise and/or PA as an instrument to mitigate distress. Objective The aim of this paper was to review the literature investigating the influence of stress on indicators of PA and exercise. Methods A systematic search of Web of Science, Pub-Med, and SPORTDiscus was employed to find all relevant studies focusing on human participants. Search terms included “stress”, “exercise”, and “physical activity”. A rating scale (0–9) modified for this study was utilized to assess the quality of all studies with multiple time points. Results The literature search found 168 studies that examined the influence of stress on PA. Studies varied widely in their theoretical orientation and included perceived stress, distress, life events, job strain, role strain, and work–family conflict but not lifetime cumulative adversity. To more clearly address the question, prospective studies (n = 55) were considered for further review, the majority of which indicated that psychological stress predicts less PA (behavioral inhibition) and/or exercise or more sedentary behavior (76.4 %). Both objective (i.e., life events) and subjective (i.e., distress) measures of stress related to reduced PA. Prospective studies investigating the effects of objective markers of stress nearly all agreed (six of seven studies) that stress has a negative effect on PA. This was true for research examining (a) PA at periods of objectively varying levels of stress (i.e., final examinations vs. a control time point) and (b) chronically stressed populations (e.g., caregivers, parents of children with a cancer diagnosis) that were less likely to be active than controls over time. Studies examining older adults (>50 years), cohorts with both men and women, and larger sample sizes (n > 100) were more likely to show an inverse association. 85.7 % of higher-quality prospective research (≥7 on a 9-point scale) showed the same trend. Interestingly, some prospective studies (18.2 %) report evidence that PA was positively impacted by stress (behavioral activation). This should not be surprising as some individuals utilize exercise to cope with stress. Several other factors may moderate stress and PA relationships, such as stages of change for exercise. Habitually active individuals exercise more in the face of stress, and those in beginning stages exercise less. Consequently, stress may have a differential impact on exercise adoption, maintenance, and relapse. Preliminary evidence suggests that combining stress management programming with exercise interventions may allay stress-related reductions in PA, though rigorous testing of these techniques has yet to be produced. Conclusions Overall, the majority of the literature finds that the experience of stress impairs efforts to be physically active. Future work should center on the development of a theory explaining the...

“…Students with poor mental health may hook up in order to cope with negative emotions, poor self-image (Kenney et al, 2014) or other reasons that heighten the risk of experiencing negative consequences. Mental distress is associated with poor decision-making skills (see Castaneda, Tuulio-Henriksson, Marttunen, Suvisaari, & Lönnqvist, 2008 for review), low self-esteem (Hubbs, Doyle, Bowden, & Doyle, 2012; Merianos, Nabors, Vidourek, & King, 2013), and a lack of perceived social support (Ruthig, Haynes, Stupnisky, & Perry, 2009). In turn, negative hookup experiences may further exacerbate distress and lead to more risky hookup behaviors.…”

Hooking up is a normative behavior among college students that is associated with a range of positive and negative consequences. While previous research has primarily focused on women’s negative experiences of hooking up, the current study explores the relationships among hooking up behaviors, psychological distress, and a broad range of negative effects of hooking up in both male and female college students. Using a multi-site sample of college students, we developed the 14-item Negative Impact of Hookups Inventory (NIHI) to assess negative health outcomes, emotional responses, and social consequences associated with hooking up. Unprotected sex and having more hookup partners were associated with greater negative experiences of hooking up. Contrary to expectations, there were no gender differences in the total number of negative hookup effects, although males reported more frequent hookups. In addition, negative impacts of hooking up were positively associated with psychological distress regardless of gender. The NIHI may offer a useful tool to assess the negative impacts of hooking up. Understanding students’ hookup experiences is an important step toward developing targeted health interventions related to hooking up behavior in young adult populations.
