"Overtraining" - How Much Is Too Much? Sportscientist

- Sport
Deciding the quantity is a major step for coaches and trainers. Volume, load, intensity, frequency - all these terminologies have always been a cumbersome process as it is largely dependent on each individual's adaptation and response pattern. The scale moves too less - "Detraining" and too much - Overtraining ! Let's now focus on deducing the appropriate "much"!!
Overtraining is a phenomenon that appears in as a result of imbalance between training and recovery levels. With persistent hardcore training protocols, the athlete might strain so much that his exercise levels would exceed the body's ability to recover within the given recovery time frame. This would result in a significant decline or a plateau in the athlete's performance. Monotonous programmes, high volumes and unmonitored intensities can predispose the athlete to overtraining syndrome. It causes a reduced or lack of stimulus in the central nervous system reducing the strength and fitness.
