Exercise Fatigue in Adolescents: Diagnosis of Athlete Burnout
Abstract:
In brief: When a young athlete complains of chronic fatigue, declining performance, and dental lassitude-symptoms of burnout syndrome-a comprehensive diagnostic approach is required. Identification of anthropometric, physiological, or psychological abnormalities that interfere with normal exercise capacity usually can be made by means of a complete medical history and physical lamination along with limited laboratory testing. In most situations, proper therapeutic intervention will reverse exercise impairment and restore the patient's normal ability to tolerate physical activity.

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
Exercise and Cardiac Output
Sustained exercise increases the muscles' oxygen demand, which can be...
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...
