Exercise is thought of as a valid coping mechanism for managing stress due to its physical and psychological benefits, such as elevated mood, cognition, and feelings of well being. A vast amount of research has examined the relationship between exercise and stress, but the results have been inconsistent. Therefore, the effect of exercise on perceived stress levels remains unclear. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if different modes of exercise could lower perceived stress levels in college students. Additionally, this study sought to identify the mode of exercise that was most beneficial in helping students cope with stress. METHODS: 31 students (17 F, 14 M, age 22.3 ± 1) participated in this study. Subjects were divided into groups: (1) college athletes, (2) aerobic exercisers, (3) anaerobic exercisers, or (4) inactive controls. Each subject completed surveys (The Perceived Stress Scale, The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and The Student-Life Stress Inventory) at two different times: (1) when stress was assumed to be high (within one week of the subject's last final examination) and (2) when stress was assumed to be lesser (two weeks prior to the subject's first final examination or one or more weeks following the subject's last final examination). A mixed between-within subjects ANOVA was performed using SPSS to compare perceived stress levels based on exercise activity across the two time points using scores from the surveys. The alpha was set at .05. RESULTS: There was only a significant difference in Student-Life Stress Inventory scores between the athlete group and both the aerobic (p = .020) and anaerobic (p = .046) groups. Otherwise, no significant differences in perceived stress levels occurred between the groups across the two time points based on the stress-related survey scores. DISCUSSION: Results of the current study were unable to show that use of various modes of exercise contributes to lower levels of perceived stress. The current study was also unable to determine the superior mode of exercise for helping college students manage stress. Overall, the relationship between stress and exercise remains unclear and is more complex than previously thought.
