Physical Resilience

Meaning

Physical resilience is the biological capacity of an individual’s body to effectively resist, adapt to, and rapidly recover from significant physiological stressors, including intense exercise, illness, injury, or chronic psychological load. This metric is a key indicator of overall vitality and longevity, reflecting the robust functional integrity of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine systems. High physical resilience allows for sustained high performance, minimizes downtime, and reduces the long-term risk of injury or systemic burnout.
