Overtraining occurs when a person exceeds their body's ability to recover from strenuous exercise. [1] Overtraining can be described as a point where a person may have a decrease in performance and plateauing as a result of failure to consistently perform at a certain level or training load; a load which exceeds their recovery capacity.

As strength improves with high-intensity training (HIT), the weight or resistance used in the exercises should be gradually increased over time. This progressive overload is believed to provide the muscles with enough stimulus to continue improving and growing. An inverse relationship exists between how intensely and how long one can exercise.
The thinking is that the fluid overload can help mitigate the negative effects of dehydration on performance—including fatigue, cramps, a higher heart rate, and more—which can start as soon as ...
Progressive overload is a method of strength training and hypertrophy training that advocates for the gradual increase of the stress placed upon the musculoskeletal and nervous system. [1] The principle of progressive overload suggests that the continual increase in the total workload during training sessions will stimulate muscle growth and ...
I walked between 15,000 and 20,000 steps daily to increase my NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis), I didn’t stop training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or kickboxing because I like those sports ...
The fitness level of a human body in training can be broken down into four periods: initial fitness, training, recovery, and supercompensation. During the initial fitness period, the target of the training has a base level of fitness. Upon entering the training period, the target's level of fitness decreases.

For example, two individuals with different measures of VO 2 max, running at 7 mph are running at the same absolute intensity (miles/hour) but a different relative intensity (% of VO 2 max expended). The individual with the higher VO 2 max is running at a lower intensity at this pace than the individual with the lower VO 2 max is.
