Abstract
⺠Little research is available on the relationships between health anxiety and physical activity. ⺠Health anxiety has an affective, cognitive, behavioural, and perceptual dimension. ⺠Only the perceptual dimension of health anxiety is related to greater exercise desire, exercise withdrawal, and exercise tolerance. ⺠General anxiety is negatively related to desire to exercise, exercise tolerance, and time spent exercising.
