Physiological Resilience Factors

Meaning

Physiological Resilience Factors are the intrinsic biological capacities that enable an organism to rapidly adapt to, recover from, and withstand acute or chronic stressors, whether metabolic, physical, or environmental. Key factors include efficient cellular stress response pathways, hormonal buffering capacity, and robust mitochondrial reserve capacity. High resilience minimizes the long-term impact of transient challenges on overall systemic homeostasis. Assessing these factors helps predict an individual’s capacity for sustained high-level function.
