April 10, 2009, Newsletter Issue #4: Overtraining Is Unwise
Tip of the Week
Overtraining has become a common problem among modern athletes. Some are convinced that high amounts of training will yield advantageous results, but when training becomes excessive, athletes may experience emotional, behavioral, or physical damage.
The most common symptoms of overtraining are fatigue and weakness, but this problem can also lead to sports injury. When training is performed without adequate rest, muscles may grow excessively tired and lose the ability to sustain training activities any longer. As a result, athletes who experience this condition will often experience painful sports injuries. Injuries resulting from overtraining syndrome include but are not limited to:
Orthopedic injury Heart problems Loss of strength Muscle strain If you are an athlete that is experiencing symptoms of exhaustion, unexpected weight loss, chronic head pain or headaches, decreased appetite, or high blood pressure, you may be susceptible to overtraining syndrome.
