Abstract in brief

  • Allostatic load is the cumulative effect of chronic stress on the body's physiological systems, which can lead to health problems when stress exceeds an individual's ability to cope.
  • The systematic review analyzed 267 studies up to December 2019, showing that higher allostatic load is linked to worse physical and mental health across various populations and settings.
  • The review suggests that assessing allostatic load, using both biological markers and clinical criteria, helps understand how social and lifestyle factors impact health, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to prevention and treatment.]

Measuring training load is a good start, but not enough. To improve health outcomes in student-athletes, we need to be more comprehensive. Educational interventions on sleep, hydration, nutrition and ways to buffer psych stress should be commonplace. https://t.co/B3UczWubHe
