It involves physiological activation (increased heart rate, sweating rate or respiratory rate) and psychological activity (increased attention). Arousal is typically viewed along a continuum, with deep sleep at one extreme and excitement at the other. Individuals who are optimally aroused are mentally and physically activated to perform.
