Metabolic stress: Muscle catabolism is an important component of the metabolic response to stress and injury. Increased sympathetic nervous system activity and the release of cortisol (a catabolic signal) during exercise break down tissues to provide energy substrates that support a sustained workload. Although physical stress and catabolism are necessary stimuli for physical adaptation (gains in strength, power and muscularity), it is essential to limit this stress to the training window.
Psychological stress: We all face acute psychological stress on a daily basis. But when acute psychological stressors become chronic, we are at risk for cortisol dysregulation, anxiety, insomnia, and depressive symptoms.
