“…The different associations with coping styles between exercise and sleep suggest that these health habits have different mechanisms for reducing psychological distress. Exercise increases levels of opioids such as β-endorphin [ 43 , 44 , 45 ], which produces a feeling of euphoria, dopamine [ 46 ], which plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior, and serotonin [ 47 ], which is thought to be a contributor to feelings of well-being and happiness. The mood elevation induced by opioids may be related to the adoption of “active coping”, rather than the evasion of “Avoidance coping”.…”

Background: Nursing students in many countries have been reported to experience high levels of stress and psychological distress. Health habits could potentially mediate the association between coping styles and psychological status. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mediation effect of health habits in the relationship between stress coping styles and psychological distress in Japanese nursing students. Methods: A total of 181 nursing students completed anonymous self-reported questionnaires comprised of the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), the Brief Coping Orientation questionnaire, and an additional questionnaire on health behavior. A mediation analysis using path analysis with bootstrapping was used for data analysis. Results: Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that psychological distress was significantly and positively associated with “Avoidance coping” (β = 0.39, p < 0.001), and was negatively associated with “Active coping” (β = −0.30, p < 0.001), “exercise habit” (β = −0.25, p = 0.001), and “sleeping” (β = −0.24, p = 0.002). In the path model, “Active coping” and “Avoidance coping” had significant or marginally significant associations with “exercise habits” (active: β = 0.19, p = 0.008, avoidance: β = −0.12, p = 0.088), and psychological distress (active: β = −0.25, p < 0.001, avoidance: β = 0.363, p < 0.001). However, these coping style variables did not have a significant association with “sleep”. In general, the size of the correlations was below 0.4. Conclusions: Exercise habits mediated the relationship between coping styles and psychological distress to a greater extent than sleep. The present study suggests the possibility that complex interactions between health habits and coping styles may influence the psychological status of nursing students.

“…During prolonged exercise, the concentrations in plasma of the peptides vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), secretin, somatostatin (SRIF), met-enkephalin and P-endorphin may increase (Farrell et al 1982;Bullen et al 1984;Elliot et al 1984;Howlett et al 1984;Metzger & Stein, 1984). These peptides are, as PP and gastrin, synthesized in endocrine cells in the gastroenteropancreatic area as well as in nerve cells within as well as outside the central nervous system (CNS).…”

“…8 One interesting dis crepancy occurred in the study of Elliot and col leagues. 9 They reported that maximal exertion on a treadmill induced a significant increase in β-EN/β-LPH but not Cortisol, while weight training induced a very highly significant increase in Cortisol but a very doubtful increase in β-EN/β-LPH (p < 0.06). 9 In perhaps the most controversial investigation, Carr and colleagues 10 suggested that the plasma β-EN/β-LPH response to acute exercise increased in women with training.…”
