In the article, Relationships Between Exercise As A Mood Regulation Strategy And Trait
Emotional Intelligence, written by Dharmendra Solanki and Andrew Lane, studies show that
people persistently using exercise as an emotional regulation strategy have higher values on the
Emotional Intelligence Scale (ESI) Regarding athletes, the ESI values correlate with their
physical performance on the field, as well as how poorly or well they execute. The study
conducted resulted in a majority of the subjects self-reporting higher ESI values, correlating with
a more intense, positive mood, subsequent to exercise. These results, therefore, support the
theory of direct correlation between emotional and physical well-being.

Annesi and Linda Vaughn, states the effects of depression, being a negative psychological state,
on physical health. The authors point out that the minimal amount of physical activity required to
reduce depressive symptoms is less than the amount of activity required for weight loss, in the 12
week testing period. Although, due to the effects of exercise, weight loss, controlled eating,
healthy habits, and a severe reduction in the occurrence of negative psychological states are all
products of increased physical activity.

In Chapter one of this text, Hoffman defines holism, and creates an argument for its relation to
kinesiology. Holism is the concept that it is required that multiple cognitions, while interrelated,
must work together in order to achieve peak performance. The multidimensional cognitions
include mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
