[Paradoxical effects of physical exercise on the psychological condition in students playing squash or volleyball (author's transl)].
The effect of physical exercise on the psychological condition was measured using a standardized questionnaire in 50 students playing squash and in 20 students playing volleyball. Measurements were taken immediatley before and after a game and again one hour later. For those subjects who were in bad shape before a game, both squash and volleyball resulted in a considerable improvement in the psychological condition. However, those subjects who initially were in very good shape, physical exercise decreased slightly their psychological well-being.
