How tennis relieves stress

Article Abstract:

Tennis can improve the way a person handles a stressful situation. Tennis' soothing effects can be attributed to the endorphins and catecholamines, known stress-reducers, which are released during play. Moreover, the interval-like training associated with the sport helps the body respond to stress.
