The Claim
In young adult resistance-trained individuals, higher levels of chronic life event stress are associated with slower recovery of perceived energy, increased fatigue, and greater muscle soreness over a 96-hour period following intense resistance exercise, with stressed individuals exhibiting persistently elevated fatigue and soreness throughout recovery compared to less stressed individuals.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you're dealing with a lot of stress in your life, you might feel more tired and sore for longer after a hard workout — and it could take you nearly four days to bounce back like someone who's less stressed.
