The effort is associated with an intense use of force.
The etymological origin of the term effort that concerns us now is found in Latin. Specifically, we can determine that it is the result of the sum of several lexical components of said language:
-The prefix ex- , which means "outwards."
-The adjective fortis , which is synonymous with "strong."
-The suffix -o , which is used to indicate "action and effect."
What is effort
The concept of effort is used with reference to the intense use of force , vigor or mind to achieve a goal or overcome certain obstacles. In general, making an effort is essential to achieve success.
For example: "We went through difficult times, but with a lot of effort we managed to get ahead" , "The champion won with effort in his debut in the tournament" , "I made a great effort to lift those boxes and now my waist hurts" .
Effort is essential in sport.
A physical action or an intellectual process
Effort can be linked to a physical action . Suppose that a person traveling by bus to work is trapped in traffic congestion. To avoid being late and being punished, she decides to complete the remaining journey on foot. In this context, rushed by the clock, she is forced to run. Compliance with the schedule, in short, requires effort.
The idea of effort can also refer to the intensive use of mental faculties . A young person may not know how to solve a mathematical problem after reading it in the first instance. However, with effort and after carefully analyzing his premises again and again, he manages to arrive at the solution.
Resistance and resilience are also terms that are linked to the notion of effort, being associated with the ability to adapt and perseverance: «It won't be long until you complete your studies! One more effort and you will graduate" , "Please make one last effort and help me finish the plate" , "The young man had to make an effort not to fall off his bicycle due to the wind" .
stress test
In the same way, we cannot ignore the fact that the word in question is used within the field of health. Specifically, in this field there is talk of what is known as a stress test .
Exactly under that term is an exam, also called ergometry , which aims to assess a heart disease that is already diagnosed or that is being analyzed and studied at that moment, such as a coronary type condition. To achieve this goal, what is done is that the patient can demonstrate their physical resistance through different exercises.
And these exercises will reveal symptoms that do not appear in the person in question when they are at rest, but that do arise when they do some type of physical activity.
Thanks to this aforementioned test, it will be possible to know if the heart beats regularly, if the person in question suffers from palpitations, to see how the heart reacts to the drugs of a treatment... Likewise, the patient during the treatment will have to warn the health professional in question of whether he is getting dizzy or if his chest hurts.
