A recent study analyzed the correlation between daily leisure activities and reported stress levels among working adults. The researchers collected data from 300 participants and found that those who engaged in physical activities for at least 30 minutes a day reported feeling 40% less stressed compared to those who did not engage in such activities. Additionally, the study highlighted that participants who spent at least one hour a day on hobbies, such as painting or gardening, also reported a significant decrease in stress levels.

Despite these findings, some critics argue that the study may not adequately account for other factors influencing stress levels, such as work environment, personal relationships, or underlying health issues. This raises questions about the strength of the conclusions drawn from the data.
