      Overtraining

      Overtraining

      Overtraining, an imbalance between stress and adaptability of the body (Siff, PhD, MSc, 2004), is revealed by persistent muscular soreness, performance decrease, energy fall, anxiety, depression (Bloomfield, 1995) and many other physiological problems. However as an athlete increases there training volume, they are more likely to suffer an injury before they get classic signs of overtraining (Bailey, 1996)

      Exhaustion is the systematic result of short term imbalance between stress and adaptability, whereas overtraining is the result of imbalance accumulated over a prolonged period (Siff, PhD, MSc, 2004). In 1956, a scientist by the name Hans Selye developed a theory called the general adaptation syndrome (Philbin, 2004). Selye?s theory showed that overtraining is closely related to an inadequate rate of recovery and adaptation of: the energy systems, cell repair and growth mechanisms, hormonal systems and nervous processes (Siff, PhD, MSc, 2004).

      The nervous, endocrine, and immune system?s were overtraining seems to produce its first problems (Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, vol. 26(5), 1994). Scientists have found that careful physiological surveillance might be able to prevent overtraining.

      At times, the symptoms associated with the overtraining syndrome can be severe (Meehan, 2000) and full recovery may take a number of weeks or months (Kuipers and Keizer, 1988). In certain cases, athletes have been unable to continue participating in their sport (Meehan, 2000; Meehan et al., 2000, 2001).

      Overtraining, at early stages, may be recovered rapidly by rest. However, as over training progresses, an athlete will become exhausted causing a decrease in performance (Kleinbeck, 1990) and muscular soreness. As social, economical, mental and environmental stress builds up, alongside physical training, total stress influences the body (Watkins, 1997).

      An orthostatic challenge shows promise as a diagnostic tool, but the subjective feelings of the patient remain one of the most reliable early warning signs. However Prevention is still the best cure, and athletes, coaches and physicians need to recognize the early warning signs (Arja L.T. Uusitalo, MD, PhD 2001).

      Stress may be cause by both negative and positive psychological factors. Negative factors are cases such as death of a family member or being behind at school. While positive factors may be holidays or personal achievements (Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, vol. 26(5), p. S65, 1994). Lack of sleep, travelling, change in training, illness and injury are all types of effecting physiological factors.

      Common Symptoms of Overtraining

      Workout Symptoms

      Early fatigue during workouts
      Faster heart rate with less effort
      Decreased strength
      Decreased coordination
      Physical challenges seem too hard
      Decreased performance on strength, speed, or endurance testing

      Physical Symptoms

      Persistent fatigue
      Persistent muscle soreness
      Gastrointestinal disturbances (Bailey, 1996)
      Loss of appetite
      Increased aches and pains
      Increase in overuse injuries
      Elevated diastolic blood pressure (Bailey, 1996)

      Non physical Symptoms

      Difficulty sleeping
      Feelings of depression
      Lack of motivation
      Fear of competition
      Difficulty concentrating

      (The physician and sports medicine - vole 31 - no. 6 - June 2003)

      Over Training Test

      The Orthostatic Heart Rate Test is used to monitor the athlete to prevent overtraining. To perform the Orthostatic Heart Rate Test you require a watch and must know how to take your pulse rate.

      To perform the orthostatic heart rate test you must:
      1. Lie down and rest for 15 minutes.
      2. Record pulse rate (amount of beats per minutes) ? A One
      3. Stand up.
      4. 15 seconds later record your pulse rate (amount of beats per minutes) ? A Two
      5. Record the difference between A One and A Two.

      If the difference is greater than 15-20 beats then it is probable that the athlete has not recovered from the previous days training or is under stress.

      (Swaim, Saviano, Edwards, 2002)

      Closing statement

      Overtraining can be prevented through careful Monitoring of your training sessions (Jeukendrup, 2002), performing the Orthostatic Heart Rate Test, periodizing and individualizing your training programs (Jeukendrup, 2002) and keeping training logs.

      Don?t hesitate to miss training if you think you may be overtraining.

      However Having one bad training session doesn?t mean you are overtraining, but when you have had multiple bad training sessions it is time to rest or consult professional help

      and full recovery may take a number of weeks or months
      this must be true, because i stopped training as much to reduce my overtraining to a normal routine....and it doesnt feel right...im weaker now, psychologically fucked up in the head...like confused/frustrated/sad/depressed -- i feel like ive lost a lot of time and muscle that i could have had...but ive been constantly fuckin my body up and not letting it repair.
