The Impact of Physical Activity on Parental Stress

Written By Daniel Wilsea

Parental stress is a significant public health concern that affects individuals, families, and communities. Chronic stress can lead to various adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, and weakened immune function. This workshop examines the impact of regular physical activity on reducing parental stress levels by reviewing the current literature, identifying knowledge gaps, exploring the spectrum of physical activity, and proposing an inclusive physical activity framework.
