Stress management - The act, manner, or practice of managing, handling, or controlling stress.
-
Fight or flight - The tendency to respond to stress by standing to meet a challenge or running away from a challenge.
-
Adrenaline - The hormone that provides a short burst of energy, gives better memory function, and lowers sensitivity to pain.
-
Something that causes stress - A stressor is defined as something that causes stress.
-
Both increase - During stress, both heart rate and blood pressure increase.
-
If stress arousal continues, performance will eventually break down. - The Human Function Curve demonstrates that performance can peak, but if stress continues, it will eventually break down.
-
The body’s reaction to change - Stress is best described as the body’s reaction to change.
-
Adrenaline - The principal hormone produced by the adrenal gland that speeds up heart rate, strengthens the force of the heart’s contraction, and opens up the bronchioles.
