Description / Abstract

Overtraining is directly linked to the imbalance in athletics between recovery and stress. Both overreaching and overtraining cause a variety of symptoms such as psychological, hormonal, physical, and physiological, yet many measures to test for overtraining syndrome are overly invasive like hormone testing. There has yet to be a definitive measure used to diagnose overtraining syndrome in contrast to nonfunctional overreaching. Diagnosing overreaching in order to prevent the progression into long-term overtraining is the ultimate goal as a sports medicine team. The present study aimed to test various non-invasive measures in monitoring female collegiate runners for overtraining syndrome in order to determine a successful and quick battery of measures that may be utilized in an athletics department.
