Performance Demands

Meaning

This term refers to the physiological, cognitive, and emotional energy requirements placed upon an individual by professional, athletic, or personal life commitments. In the context of hormonal health, chronic or excessive performance demands act as significant, non-specific stressors that can deplete adrenal reserves and dysregulate the HPA axis. Sustained high demands often necessitate specific interventions to prevent burnout and hormonal imbalance.
