Physical Exertion Mental Resilience

Meaning

Physical Exertion Mental Resilience is the adaptive physiological and psychological capacity developed through consistent physical training, enabling an individual to maintain high-level cognitive function and emotional stability under conditions of acute or chronic stress. The regular, controlled stress of exercise trains the neuroendocrine system to respond more efficiently to non-physical stressors, mitigating the detrimental effects of high cortisol and sympathetic nervous system overdrive. This resilience translates into better decision-making and reduced anxiety in demanding situations.
