At Liam's basketball game tonight, a college scout is likely to be in the crowd. Liam is in good shape and believes that both he
and his teammates are ready to perform well. But he's very nervous anyway. Which statement is probably true about Liam's stress?
His stress is mostly psychological, and he should find something fun to do until the game.
He is experiencing positive stress that will improve his performance, so he should not try to change.
He should spend the afternoon engaged in physical activity so he can reduce his stress.
As the game starts, he will move from the resistance stage to the fatigue stage of stress.
Liam's stress is mostly psychological at this point - he should find something fun to do until the game, because this will distract him. As he is in good shape and he knows he and his team mates will perform well, he is suffering from last minute nerves rather than long term resistance-fatigue stress.
The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a quick measure of fat distribution that may help indicate a person's overall health. People who carry more weight around their middle than their hips may be at a higher risk of developing certain health conditions. Did this help?
