Sportaktivität, Stress und das Gehirn

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Handbuch Stressregulation und Sport

Part of the book series: Springer Reference Psychologie ((SRP))

Zusammenfassung

Dieses Kapitel befasst sich mit den positiven Wirkungen sportlicher Aktivität auf jene Gehirnstrukturen und -funktionen, die durch eine akute oder chronische Stressexposition beeinträchtigt werden. Die akuten und chronischen Effekte von Stress und Sport auf das Gehirn werden dazu zunächst isoliert betrachtet. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem präfrontalen Kortex, dem Hippocampus und den damit verbundenen kognitiven Funktionen. Anschließend werden die Erkenntnisse zu einem direkten Stresspuffereffekt sportlicher Aktivität auf das Gehirn ausführlich dargestellt.
