PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -External stress also plays a role in injury risk. Negative life events, daily hassles and strains and stress related to training itself such as feeling stiff or tense, feeling vulnerable to injury and feeling insufficient rested all contribute to an increased likelihood of injury.

Detailed explanation-2: -This long-term ongoing stress can increase the risk for hypertension, heart attack, or stroke. Repeated acute stress and persistent chronic stress may also contribute to inflammation in the circulatory system, particularly in the coronary arteries, and this is one pathway that is thought to tie stress to heart attack.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stress factors broadly fall into four types or categories: physical stress, psychological stress, psychosocial stress, and psychospiritual stress.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the body has an overabundance of cortisol, the high levels interfere with the production of anti-inflammatory substances called cytokines. The result is that your injured area remains inflamed and is very slow to heal.
