True Tension Traverse: What Research Shows about the Antidepressant Effects of Challenge Course Experiences.

Bunting, Camille

Zip Lines: The Voice for Adventure Education, n41 p35-38 Sum 2000

A study of five undergraduate physical education classes explored the influence on positive and negative affect of different types of physical activity. Results indicated that running, skiing, and challenge course activities, especially the 14-foot wall, increased positive affect more than other activities. Implications for physical education programs and physical and emotional health are discussed. (TD)
