Definición

  • In humans, the term reserve capacity can be defined as the excess capacity, or reserves, above that needed for normal functioning (load), as in carrying out activities of daily living. Many systems of the body have reserve capacities (e.g., functional reserves of the lungs and heart, fuel depot reserves for metabolism, or reserve of a single enzyme).
