Oversleeping
Insomnia
Getting sick easily
A decline in athletic ability can be the result of overtraining.
Sympathetic nervous system overtraining and Parasympathetic nervous system overtraining.
Possible signs of overtraining include persistent fatigue, decreased performance, increased risk of injury, and mood disturbances. One possible sign of overtraining is persistent fatigue.
Overtraining occurs when an athlete trains beyond their body's ability to recover, leading to a decline in performance and potential physical and psychological issues. It typically results from excessive training intensity, volume, or frequency without adequate rest or recovery. Factors such as inadequate nutrition, insufficient sleep, and stress can exacerbate the risk of overtraining. Symptoms include fatigue, decreased performance, increased injury risk, and mood disturbances.
It depends on whether you are talking about aerobic training (running, cycling) or anaerobic training (weight lifting, body building) but they do have many symptoms in common:Persistent fatigue.Persistent muscle soreness.Elevated resting heart rate (assuming you know your previous baseline).Increased susceptibility to infections (decreased immunity).Increased incidence of injuries.Insomnia (particularly in aerobic athletes).Irritability or depression (particularly in anaerobic athletes).
Overtraining
Three signs of overtraining include persistent fatigue, decreased performance, and increased susceptibility to illness or injury. Athletes may also experience mood changes, such as irritability or anxiety, as well as disrupted sleep patterns. Monitoring these symptoms is crucial for preventing long-term physical and mental health issues.
Being pushed to the limits is good for your body it helps your overall endurance abilities. But put to the limits to much or for two long can result in injury or overtraining Overtraining is when your body has pretty much had enough of training some symptoms of overtraining are extreme muscle fatigue, constant tiredness, muscles in pain, a higher rest heart rate normally 5 or more beats then usual as well as the inability to exercise properly. To get rid of overtraining simply stop training for around two days then slowly start doing light exercises until you feel your ready to start training properly again.
risky because you can sick or hurt
Dicks and balls
HR is the single most effective indicator of overtraining. If you perform the same activity as you did a few weeks ago and your HR is significantly higher you are probably overtraining. Also, if you feel weaker and less willing to do your exercises you might be. You really have to be a serious athlete to reach this level however. Its not common.
