Overtraining and Burnout Flashcards
What components are in the overtraining continuum?
Recoverd —-> Functional overreaching —> Nonfunctional overreaching —> overtraining —> burnout
what is the main difference between overtraining and overreaching?
Overreaching is short term decrement in performance and overtraining is longer term effect on performance
What is the difference between FOR and NFOR
FOR performance decrement lasts days to 2 weeks
NFOR performance decrement lasts more than 2 weeks to 1 month
What does overtraining syndrome arise from?
After a prolonged NFOR or repeated episodes
What is the motivation like for someone who has overtraining syndrome?
Still preserves motivation to carry on
How long can overtraining syndrome last?
> 1 month to years
Define burnout
A negative motivational emotional state
What is motivation like when an athlete is burnout?
no motivation to keep training or participating in the sport
Underperformance syndrome definition takes a wider view of the overtraining syndrome, what is this definition?
UPS is a persistent unexplained performance deficit despite two weeks of relative rest.
What other reasons must be ruled out before diagnosing NFOR/OT?
- Diseases or infections
- Negative calorie balance
- Vitamin, mineral deficiency
- allergies
- injuries
How many signs and symptoms have been reported of OT?
Over 90+
List some signs and symptoms of overtraining
Under performance, URTI’s, muscle soreness, loss of appetite, mood disturbances
How does overtraining syndrome usually present as in sprinters and power athletes?
Mood changes and underperformance
What may both endurance and sprint athletes have as OTS?
Persistent upper respiratory tract infections
What ratio has been proposed as a monitor of training stress?
testosterone/cortisol ratio
what relationship does testosterone/cortisol have?
Anabolic to catabolic
What % decrease in T/C means recovery is insufficient?
30%
What shaped curve is the OT and immune function?
J shaped
How long after intense training is there an increase in infections?
1-2 weeks
Explain the open window hypothesis
Increased air flow during exercise
More lymphocyte apoptosis
Increased cortisol
Reduced natural killer cell activity
TRUE or FALSE. There is a reduced IgA level in OT adults
TRUE
list 5 physiological markers for OT.
- decreased VO2
- decreased peak lactate
- decreased testosterone
- decreased Hb and Hct
- Increased SNS activity
In the profile of mood state test, what 2 components decline the most in healthy athletes?
Vigour and fatigue
In OTS athletes, which mood state really increases?
Depression
