<onlyinclude>'''Stamina enhancement''' can be described as an increased ability to engage in physically and mentally taxing activities without the development of fatigue. Although this effect is commonly mistaken for [[stimulation]], it differs as it is not a direct increase in one's energy levels. Instead, it is an increase in one's resilience in performing an activity combined with a mitigation of general fatigue. | <onlyinclude>'''Stamina enhancement''' can be described as an increased ability to engage in physically and mentally taxing activities without the development of fatigue.

Psychoactive substances that directly increase a person's endurance without stimulation are known as ''actoprotectors''. These are are defined as "substances that enhance body stability against physical or mental loads without increasing oxygen consumption or heat production."<ref>The Pharmacology of Actoprotectors: Practical Application for Improvement of Mental and Physical Performance (PubMed.gov / NCBI) | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3762282/?report=classic</ref></onlyinclude> Although actoprotetors are extremely uncommon, there are many compounds are capable of inducing endurance enhancement alongside other effects such as [[stimulation]], [[focus enhancement]], and [[motivation enhancement]].
