Introduction[edit | edit source]

Stress is defined as any intrinsic or extrinsic stimulus that provokes a biological response. Stress response is the compensatory reaction to the stressor. Based on the severity, timing and type of evoked stimulus, stress can cause diverse actions on the body.[1] The severity of the physiological reaction to a stimulus is situationally dependent and highly individual.[2]

Physical Stress Theory[edit | edit source]

The physical stress theory suggests that tissues adapt to physical stresses by modifying their composition and structure to best meet the mechanical demands of routine loading. The direction, magnitude and time of the stressor establishes the overall level of exposure to physical stress. [3] Injury may occur due to a high-magnitude stress applied for a brief period, a moderate-magnitude stress applied to the tissue multiple times and/or a low-magnitude stress applied for a long duration.[3]

This theory proposes five qualitative responses to physical stress; atrophy, maintenance, hypertrophy, injury and death:[3][4]

  • Atrophy: physical stress levels that are lower than maintenance range; subsequent stresses to tissues lead to decreased tolerance
  • No apparent change: stressors that are in the maintenance range
  • hypertrophy: stressors that exceed the maintenance range (overload); subsequent stress leads tissue to increased tolerance
  • tissue injury: excessively high levels of physical stress
  • tissue death: extreme deviations from the maintenance stress range that exceed the adaptive capacity of tissues[3]


** Progressive overload refers to maintaining a adequate stimulus to match adaptive capacity.[5] Manipulation of load, frequency, rest and volume and maximise hypertrophic response.[6]

flammation occurs immediately following tissue injury and renders the injured tissue less tolerant of stress than it was prior to injury.[3] Injured and inflamed tissues must be protected from subsequent excessive stress until acute inflammation subsides.[3]P
