Physical Endurance Maintenance

Meaning

Physical endurance maintenance refers to the sustained capacity of the body to perform prolonged physical activity without undue fatigue, a state heavily influenced by optimal hormonal function, cardiovascular health, and mitochondrial efficiency. Hormones, particularly thyroid hormones, cortisol, and testosterone, play a critical role in regulating energy production, oxygen utilization, and recovery processes that underpin endurance. Clinical strategies for maintenance focus on optimizing the endocrine environment and metabolic pathways to support sustained physiological performance over time. This is a key metric for overall vitality and longevity.
