Overreaching and overtraining syndrome - causes, symptoms, diagnostics and prevention

Abstract

The overtraining syndrome is a state of lowering the efficiency of the body resulting from the overlapping of many stressors and an inadequate rest period. This phenomenon is commonly observed among athletes. Unfortunately, there are no appropriate tools to diagnose and assess OTS, therefore, appropriate behaviors to prevent the occurrence of this phenomenon are extremely important.
