Exercise Reduces Anger
By Rick Nauert, Ph.D.


“Exercise had a significant impact on anger expression in children,”said Dr. Catherine Davis


Most of you have probably thought about ways to deal with yourself when it comes down to controlling your anger. Maybe go scream into a pillow, release it on someone else, find something to eat or listen to music yeahh? Well now there's a better and possibly healthier way to deal with your anger and that is...exercising! Studies have shown that exercises such as aerobics can help a variety of people reduce their anger and aggressive behaviors. Too much anger and aggression can lead to dangerous outcomes such as delinquency, a wrongful behavior, in children, cardiovascular disease in adults and metabolic syndrome in adolescents. To prevent those problems from happening, exercising is recommended to those who need to handle their anger issues because it is found that exercising lessens children's anxiety and depression and help adults manage their emotion easier. So next time when you get angry, try exercising and maybe it'll help you cool down a little bit :)

sometimes when id feel bad about school or work and stuff, i would go out for a jog with dian dian and then come home feeling so much better :)

Like everybody else said, I agree with your article. When you exercise, you release a lot of stress and it helps keep your mind off of things. Good job! :)
