The resistance stage of the general adaptation syndrome is when the body makes intense physiological efforts to resist or adapt to a stressor. During this stage, the body mobilizes its resources to cope with the ongoing stressor. The alarm stage is the immediate reaction to a stressor, the exhaustion stage occurs when the body's resources are depleted after prolonged exposure to a stressor, and the adaptation stage is when the body has successfully adapted to the stressor and returned to its normal state.
