Abstract

This study examined changes in stress resilience (hardiness) before and after exercise, focusing on the influence of exercise habits using both subjective and objective indicators. Fifty-three university students participated, and their hardiness scores and salivary amylase activity levels were measured before and after five exercise sessions. Results showed that participants with established exercise habits demonstrated greater improvements in hardiness. In addition, continued participation in exercise enhanced overall stress resilience, and partial consistency was observed between subjective and physiological indicators. These findings suggest that fostering exercise habits can effectively strengthen stress coping abilities in young adults and may be applicable to regional health promotion programs.
