Introduction[edit | edit source]
The purpose of training competitive athletes is to provide training loads that will improve performance. During this process, athletes can undergo various stages that may range from ‘under-training’, during the period between competitive seasons or active rest and taper, to ‘overreaching’ (OR) and ‘overtraining’ (OT) which comprises maladaptations and diminished competitive performance.[1][2]When excessive training occurs concomitant with other stressors and inadequate recovery time, performance decrements will cause chronic maladaptations which can lead to the ‘Overtraining Syndrome’ (OTS).
