Abstract in brief

The article discusses the importance of balancing training overload with adequate recovery to prevent overtraining syndrome (OTS), noting that short-term performance declines can occur without long-term harm if managed properly.
Differentiating between functional overreaching (temporary decline) and nonfunctional overreaching or OTS is challenging, as they share similar symptoms like fatigue and mood disturbances, but OTS involves prolonged maladaptation of biological systems.
Currently, there is no definitive marker for diagnosing OTS, as numerous biological, psychological, and performance measures are used, but none are universally accepted due to a lack of conclusive scientific evidence.]
