Metabolic Stress: Muscle catabolism is an important component of the metabolic response to stress and injury. Increased sympathetic nervous system activity and cortisol release (a catabolic signal) during exercise break down tissue to provide the energy substrates needed for sustained workload. While physical stress and catabolism are necessary stimuli for physical adaptation (strength, power, and muscle gains), it is essential to limit this stress to the training period.

Psychological Stress: We all face acute psychological stress day-to-day. But when acute psychological stressors become chronic, we run the risk of cortisol dysregulation, anxiety, insomnia, and depressive symptoms.
