Autonomous Regulation Capacity

Meaning

This term denotes the intrinsic physiological ability of the body to independently maintain homeostatic balance without conscious effort. It specifically refers to the functional integrity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in controlling vital involuntary processes. A robust capacity signifies efficient adaptation to internal and external stressors, promoting systemic stability. Clinical evaluation of this capacity often involves assessing heart rate variability (HRV) as a surrogate marker for ANS function.
