Understanding Overtraining
Overload is essential for training, leading to short-term fatigue but ultimately enhancing performance through supercompensation. When training pushes the body beyond its limits without adequate recovery, it can result in functional or nonfunctional overreaching. Recognizing the difference is crucial; while functional overreaching may lead to improvement, nonfunctional overreaching can take weeks or months to recover from. If you're feeling drained and unmotivated, you might just be experiencing functional overreaching, not overtraining.In this clip
