Canton South High School students are stepping into the ring – or room – for their own one-of-a-kind boxing match against themselves to relieve stress and re-stimulate their brain.
CANTON, Ohio — As schools continue to battle growing mental health needs, studies show physical activities like boxing can reduce stress and improve mood, self-esteem and quality of life by 94%.
The school’s punching room is nestled on the second floor. Created by biomedical science teacher, Nancy Q. Miller, who secured a research grant from Case Western Reserve University, students are encouraged to use the room and “Take Ten.” “When you’re active, you produce good hormones in your brain and it helps regulate the big feels whatever is going on; stress, anger [or] frustration…[So,] when the brain is able to get rid of some of the energy and produce those endorphins, [students] are going to be able to reset and process it,” she explained. “When you’re in the moment of crisis, you’re not making good decisions.
“I feel like it’s something that’s a personal approach for students and we really want the kids to learn ways to monitor and get past hard things,” Miller said.
