- Undertraining
- Acute overload
- Overreaching
- Overtraining
2 necessary features of a training program
- Progressive overload
- Rest
Effect of halving volume of training
Maintaining benefits, reducing chance of injury
True/false: Traditional periodisation useful for both individual and team sports
False (not as useful for team sports with seasons)
Describe alternative periodisation + benefit
3-4 blocks of 2-4 weeks each, allows focus on individual skills
4 symptoms of OTS
- Decreased strength
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Mood disturbances
2 sympathetic responses to OTS
- Increased BP
- Increased basal metabolic rate
2 parasympathetic responses to OTS

Two hormonal axes involved with OTS
- Sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM)
- Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA)
1 immune response to OTS
Chronic inflammation
4 methods of predicting OTS
- RHR testing
- Rate of perceived exertion testing
- Blood testing
- Heart-rate variability
2 methods of preventing OTS
- Periodisation
- Adequate caloric intake
Benefit of tapering
Increases strength, power and performance capacity
Potential increase in aerobic performance with tapering
