Pushing the body hard enough during exercise that you risk injury or illness.
Overtraining is any training/exercise that leaves the body unable to recuperate and repair itself often resulting in fatigue and under-performance.
Condition caused by an excess of volume in a training routine that leads to muscle loss, strength loss and fat accumulation. Symptoms include depression, insomnia, lethargy and lack of energy.
Unintentional overloading of the body through excessive training.
The debilitating and often long term (lasting weeks to months) fatigue which limits rather than stimulates improvement in performance.
A physical and metal state which occurs due to excessive training without adequate recovery
A condition that results from undertaking more physical activity than your body can reasonably do. Symptoms include fatigue, pain, loss of appetite, and more. Treatment is to rest.
deep-seated fatigue, both physical and mental, caused by training at an intensity or volume too great for adaptation.
Stressing the body to the point where it is unable to recover in between workouts. Overtraining can result in chronic fatigue, muscle loss and decreased motivation.
Training beyond the body's ability to repair itself. This can be caused by training the same body parts too frequently so that the body does not have time to recover before the next workout; workouts that are consistently harder than the body is able to recover from fully; or impairment of the body's normal recovery ability due to nutritional deficiencies, illness, or stress.
Doing so much exercise over time that your body can't recover. You feel weak, tired, and sore, but you don't want to stop working out. Also, see "burn-out."
Condition when runner trains too much too soon and leads to fatigue, injury and/or burn-out.
Refers to the point where an individual starts to experience impairment in performance or adverse symptoms from engaging in exercise that is too intense, too frequent, or too long.
Overtraining occurs when the volume and intensity of an individual's exercise exceeds their recovery capacity. They cease making progress, and can even begin to lose strength and fitness. Overtraining is a common problem in weight training, but it can also be experienced by runners and other athletes.
