Abstract in brief

  • Overtraining in athletes is mainly caused by excessive high-intensity workouts or insufficient recovery time, often combined with other stressors, leading to various symptoms that differ based on individual factors and types of exercise.
  • Currently, there isn't a single test to diagnose overtraining; instead, it requires monitoring multiple indicators such as hormonal imbalance, immune suppression, muscle damage, and psychological decline, which do not revert to normal after rest.
  • Detecting and preventing overtraining involves integrating routine assessment of these parameters within training plans, using principles of periodisation to balance training and recovery, especially at the end of regeneration phases to optimize performance and avoid chronic fatigue.]
