Physical Stress

Physical stress refers to the body's response to external demands or pressures that challenge its normal state. These demands can include intense exercise, injury, illness, or physical labor. When physical stress occurs, the body activates various systems, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to manage the situation. This response increases heart rate, blood flow, and energy production to help you cope. While short-term physical stress can be beneficial for strength and adaptation, prolonged or excessive stress may lead to fatigue, injury, or health problems. Managing physical stress involves proper rest, nutrition, and gradual physical activity.
