          "Life creates demands (load). The body adjusts (allostasis). Responses may resolve through recovery, while repeated or sustained adaptation may bring accumulating physiological costs (allostatic load). Reserve concerns the capacity available for further demands; resilience concerns what happens when a disturbance arrives.",
          "The arrows connect ideas for explanation. They do not describe obligatory stages or validated causal pathways. Recovery and accumulating costs can coexist. Reserve can also influence the response and recovery. This synthesis draws on allostasis, allostatic load and physical resilience research [1–3]."
