Abstract in brief

The article discusses Overtraining Syndrome (OTS), a condition where athletes experience decreased performance after intense and prolonged training, highlighting that despite decades of research, reliable diagnosis, biomarkers, or treatments are still lacking.
It argues that OTS should be understood as a complex biological system involving multiple interacting factors rather than through traditional cause-and-effect methods, recommending approaches like network physiology and transomic analyses.
The review emphasizes future research directions, including exploring brain and hormonal responses, gut microbiota, immune function, and energy availability, to improve prevention and treatment strategies for OTS.
