Athlete Resilience

Meaning

Athlete Resilience is defined as the physiological and psychological capacity of an individual to rapidly and effectively recover from intense physical and mental stress inherent to high-level training and competition. This state is characterized by efficient restoration of muscle tissue, rapid energy substrate replenishment, and the swift return to hormonal homeostasis following exertion. Clinically, it signifies a robust endocrine system capable of modulating stress hormones and anabolic factors appropriately. Achieving true resilience minimizes the risk of overtraining syndrome and maximizes long-term athletic output.
