Antifragility is the process by which stressors can increase the performance of complex systems. Antifragile systems are able to increase their capacity in response to stressors. The body does the same thing, the outer periosteum thickening in response to loading [Bonnet 2010, doi 10.1138/20100453]. Osteoblastic activity producing new bone is stimulated by stresses such as exercise, and the bumps and knocks that sometimes come with activity.
