Stress and Strain

Did you know….

that overloading a system (as in exercise) causes it to adapt to an increase in the functional capacity of that system due to a repeated stress on it? (Muscle building)

that stress in exercise physiology refers to a mechanical stimulus applied to a physiological system and that strain is a response to this stress, resulting in a change to the system?
