Common signs of overtraining include chronic fatigue, decreased performance, and increased risk of injury. Athletes may also experience mood swings, irritability, and lack of motivation. Physical symptoms can manifest as persistent muscle soreness, joint pain, or sleep disturbances. Overtraining occurs when exercise intensity and volume exceed the body's ability to recover, leading to a hormonal imbalance affecting adrenal function. To address overtraining, it’s vital to incorporate rest days, manage workout intensity, and focus on proper nutrition. Listening to one’s body and recognizing these signs early can prevent long-term setbacks.
