👉 Overtraining is a phenomenon where an athlete becomes so fatigued or under-trained that they fail to perform at their best, leading to poor performance or even injury. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors such as stress, lack of rest, inadequate nutrition, or training overload. Overtrained athletes may experience increased fatigue, decreased recovery time, and difficulty in maintaining peak performance levels. This can lead to reduced athletic ability, impaired endurance, decreased strength, and an increased risk of injury.
