Summary:Singh M, Sachdev S. Correlation between General Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Stress Response after One Month Practice of Moderate Intensity Physical Exercise. JEPonline 2020; 23(1):38-47. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between intelligence and stress parameters and to assess the same parameters after practice of one month of moderate intensity physical exercise. This study was conducted on 35 healthy male volunteer students to assess correlation between stress parameters in subjects with varying level of general intelligence (GI) and emotional intelligence (EI). Correlation studies were again conducted after one month between the same parameters to evaluate the effect of moderate intensity physical exercise (MIPE). Baseline values were recorded using standard scales. IQ and EQ correlated negatively with the both acute and chronic stress parameters and positively with each other. Positive correlation was found between acute and chronic stress. With practice of one month of moderate intensity physical exercise, there was a significant increment between the parameters under study and hence improved results. Moderate aerobic exercises practiced on long term basis reduced stress and improved intelligence.
