Overtraining in endurance sports can lead to upper respiratory tract infections due to immunosuppression. Hormonal markers, combined with other factors, are most effective for detecting athlete overtraining syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Optimal training requires a balance between exercise and recovery.
  • High-frequency, high-volume training without adequate recovery can lead to overtraining, particularly in endurance sports.
  • Overtraining is linked to increased susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) due to temporary immunosuppression.

Purpose:

  • To explore the relationship between training load, recovery, and overtraining in athletes.
  • To identify reliable biomarkers for diagnosing overtraining syndrome.
  • To understand the immunological consequences of overtraining, specifically URTI incidence.

Summary:

  • Overtraining, common in endurance athletes, results from insufficient recovery and can cause immunosuppression, increasing URTI risk.

  • While immune and hematological markers have been investigated, they lack diagnostic efficiency for overtraining.
  • Hormonal parameters show promise in indicating athlete staleness and predicting overtraining, despite study variations.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the critical role of recovery in preventing overtraining and maintaining athlete health.
    • Suggests that a combination of parameters, particularly hormonal ones, is necessary for accurate overtraining diagnosis.
    • Emphasizes the need for integrated monitoring strategies to safeguard athlete well-being and performance.
