Researchers at the Federal University of Goiás showed 40 healthy adults a series of disturbing and unpleasant images, including scenes of violence and accidents.

Participants with below-average levels of cardiorespiratory fitness experienced dramatically higher increases in both anxiety and anger when viewing the pictures compared to people who were in good shape.

More sedentary participants also tended to have more trouble controlling their emotions when they were provoked.
