Physical Stress
Physical stresses are strains or exertions on the body, something athletes take for granted. Overworking your muscles is an example of physical stress. Slight physical stress is what makes training beneficial and is an example of good stress. However, too much physical stress, or that same good stress without adequate recovery, can potentially result in a variety of problems. A common example of physical stress is riding a particular hilly course on your bike that you’re not used to, resulting in sore quadriceps muscles; this stress can then affect your lower back, causing pain. Likewise, something unrelated to athletics, such as dental stress, can affect more than your mouth, often causing stomach dysfunction, shoulder, neck, or head pain. Other physical stresses include irregular gait, poor posture, eyestrain, and many other situations that adversely impact the mechanical body.
