Why Stress Hormones Affect Recovery

Why Stress Hormones Affect Recovery: Cortisol, ...

Stress hormones affect recovery because they help determine how the body allocates energy, maintains circulation, regulates inflammation, responds to threat, and shifts between immediate demand and longer-term restoration. Cortisol, adrenaline,...
