Abstract: Abstract Some dimensions of coping are well documented (Cox & Ferguson, 1991). However, the use of health behaviours, such as exercise, as coping strategies is less well documented. The aim of the current study was to explore the relationships between health behaviours which participants reported using as coping strategies, and other, more documented, ways of coping. This introduction will review what is known about the dimensionality of coping strategies, and how health behaviours might serve as coping strategies.
