Thus, if avoiding overtraining means preventing exhaustion, passive recovery or "static rest" is safest. If active recovery is performed during intense exercise, an athlete may find themselves in a state of being overtrained. [25] The gradual variation of intensity and volume of training is also an effective way to prevent overtraining.
An excess of training stimuli can lead to the problem of overtraining. [11] Overtraining is the decline in training performance over the course of a training program, often accompanied by an increased risk of illness or injury or a decreased desire to exercise. To help avoid this problem, the technique of periodization is applied.
70% of kids drop out of sports before 13 years old, a third experience overtraining and nearly 10% of athletes are burnt out. AAP Report: 7 in 10 kids quit sports before high school due to burnout ...
The roots of periodization come from Hans Selye's model, known as the General adaptation syndrome (GAS). The GAS describes three basic stages of response to stress: (a) the Alarm stage, involving the initial shock of the stimulus on the system, (b) the Resistance stage, involving the adaptation to the stimulus by the system, and (c) the Exhaustion stage, in that repairs are inadequate, and a ...
Improvement to cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by VO 2 max, of individuals with lifestyle-induced chronic cardiovascular or metabolic diseases (including high blood pressure, obesity, heart failure, coronary artery disease, or metabolic syndrome) who completed a HIIT exercise program can be nearly double that of individuals who completed ...
In addition to overtraining, early sports specialization risks burnout and a refusal to continue playing. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Multi-sport youth athletes also have more fun playing sports, and once the young athlete becomes a teenager, are more likely to enjoy their sports activities and are less likely to quit than those who specialized early.
