Diagnosis of Overtraining and Overreaching Syndrome in Athletes
Journal Title: Sports and Exercise Medicine – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Overtraining (OT) is one of the most popular topics between coaches and researchers. The problem of this syndrome has been well-known for 70-years, however, the mechanism that induces OT remains unclear [1-3]. Many recent papers have referred to the work of Kreider et al [4] for the definitions of overreaching (OR) and OT [1-3].
