Regular Exercise Helps Children Become More Resilient to Stress

Dream - Stress is not only experienced by adults, children also feel stress but they cannot express it well. The triggers can be due to many things, such as stable family conditions, pressure from friends and the environment, bullying, inappropriate parenting, health problems, and other things that are often considered trivial by adults.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The burden of lessons and school exams often triggers stress in children. Of course, problems cannot be avoided easily, but as parents, we can help children relieve stress. One way is through exercise."

A study published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sports shows that regular exercise can help school children better cope with stress. Researchers found that children who exercise for more than one hour per day produce less cortisol (stress hormone) compared to those who are less active. The study also found that regular physical activity can improve cognitive response to stress.

The correct balance of cortisol is very important. The production of too much or too little cortisol can cause health problems. "Physically active children who regularly exercise generally have less physiological stress response," says lead researcher Manuel Hanke from the University of Basel in Switzerland.

Apart from managing stress, exercise has many other benefits for overall emotional well-being in children. Encouraging physical activity is important for children's mental and physical health. How can physical activity help reduce children's stress?

"When children regularly run, swim, climb, or engage in other physical activities, their brain learns to associate an increase in cortisol with something positive. This helps prevent cortisol levels from rising too high."

Physical activity can help increase the production of brain neurotransmitters that provide a sense of comfort, called endorphins. This makes children more capable and prepared when faced with high-pressure situations.

Researchers studied 110 children aged between 10 and 13 years who wore sensors to track their daily movements for a week. After that, the children were taken to the laboratory on two separate occasions to complete a stress-inducing task and a non-stressful control task.

Researchers tested the physical stress response of children through the concentration of cortisol in their saliva. They also examined the cognitive stress response of children to stressful tasks by recording participants' brain waves through electroencephalogram (EEG).

The result is that children who engage in physical activities intensively are more resilient to stress. Therefore, starting from now, let your child play outside or participate in regular sports activities, for the sake of their mental health and resilience to stress. Source: Times of India
