The stage of stress during which the body adapts to the ongoing presence of the stressor is the resistance stage. In the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) model proposed by Hans Selye, the resistance stage follows the alarm stage and represents a period where the body attempts to cope with the stressor, maintaining homeostasis despite the ongoing challenge.
