There is evidence that stress is mediating the effect of diet on body weight (Peters, A et al).
Is there also evidence on whether (reduction of) stress may be involved in the beneficial health effects of leisure physical exercise?
Edeltraut,
I would recommend that you review the pathology of stress. Stress has serious effects related to disease causation related to numerous diseases. Stress is a neurological and biological factor in the augmentation of disease. Lowering stress the physical exercise is valuable in lower disease manifestations. There is a plethora of evidence related to stress reduction and balancing holistically through exercise. Do a search related stress reduction and disease outcomes. I will send you a few links to read. Michele
Please read this article related to stress reduction and weight management.

Dear Michele, Manuel,
thanx for these publications. This is exactly the direction I wanted to research. I have been wondering about the relation between exercice, stress and cognitive benefits because I do /did research on risk factors for Alzheimer disease/dementia.
