A review of overtraining syndrome-recognizing the signs and symptoms
Abstract:
Overtraining syndrome is common in athletes. It manifests itself with both physiological and psychological symptoms, and can adversely affect an athlete's performance. This article reviews the physiological and psychological signs and symptoms of overtraining syndrome in order to help the athletic trainer recognize the condition. With an understanding of overtraining syndrome, the athletic trainer can better aid coaches and athletes in preventing and treating this phenomenon, and thus maintain the athlete's optimal performance level.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Muscle Recovery and Fatigue
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
