Overtraining occurs when the body experiences persistent and deep fatigue as a result of too strenuous physical exercise. This phenomenon is well-documented in the professional sport setting, though it is a completely different story among amateurs, who generally combine their demanding training with various professional and family duties.<\/p>\n
The typical cause of overtraining is down to the intensity of stress being too great for the present recovery and adaptation potential of our body. Looking from a physiological perspective, sports training is a huge stress factor for our body, though it is not the only one. In the professional sport, overtraining naturally relates to an excessive training burden, but when it comes to amateurs, there are much more potential sources of overstress.<\/p>\n
Overtraining may occur in many areas: muscular, osteoarticular, metabolic, and nervous systems, and indirectly also in the endocrine or immune systems. We should also distinguish between overtraining and tiredness, as the latter is an inherent part of training (or just simple laziness).<\/p>\n
In the case of professional endurance athletes, the most popular mix seems to be a combination of total exhaustion of the muscular, metabolic and endocrine systems. It may be a blessing in disguise that each of these aspects can be relatively easily measured through biochemical blood tests, determining the level of creatine kinase, testosterone or cortisol, or by performing orthostatic tests or regular monitoring of the resting heart rate<\/a>.<\/p>\n Breakdowns of other systems often actually protect us against overtraining; frequent infections or stress fractures simply force us to reduce the training burden. When it comes to amateurs, the most vulnerable is the nervous system, and the problem itself is more complex. The blame does not lie only with sports, as it is just a small part of a larger picture.<\/p>\n If an amateur trains hard 14 hours a week, it can be easily calculated that 22 hours a day are left for other activities. Are two hours of physical activity a day really that much? For people who live a sedentary lifestyle it may be the case, but as homo sapiens<\/em> we are perfectly fitted to face bigger challenges (so don\u2019t panic).<\/p>\n On the other hand, current symptoms specific to overtraining are experienced even by those who are generally not keen on sports. Chronic fatigue, decreased motivation, sleep or eating disorders more often result from the day-to-day accumulation of various stimuli and insufficient recovery, rather than from two hours of physical activity in 24 hours.<\/p>\n Of course, if your day is fully activity-packed, then adding two hours of training can lead to a total disaster in each and every area of your life, with family life at the forefront. And that is why prevention is a basis to combat overtraining:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Concilier une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 temps plein avec un entra\u00eenement \u00e0 temps plein est une formule courante pour le surentra\u00eenement chez les athl\u00e8tes amateurs.
