low stamina

Quick to fatigue

Low stamina describes a reduced capacity for sustained physical or mental effort.

Someone with low stamina tires quickly, whether during exercise, work, or concentration: His low stamina meant frequent breaks during the hike.

The phrase appears in fitness contexts, video games (where it's often a character stat), and medical discussions of fatigue-related conditions.
