physical fatigue
Muscles crying out
Physical fatigue is the body's state of tiredness or exhaustion after exertion—muscles feel weak, reaction time slows, and the desire to rest becomes overwhelming.
Distinguished from mental fatigue, which affects concentration and cognitive function, physical fatigue results from sustained activity, inadequate sleep, or illness: After the marathon, physical fatigue set in and I could barely climb the stairs.
