This book discusses major changes in our understanding of the most
prevalent non-orthopedic, sports-related condition - overtraining
syndrome (OTS), arguing that it should be considered as the
manifestation of burnout in athletes, rather than simply the result
of excessive training. While the chronic adaptations of the
cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems to exercise are well
documented, those of the endocrine system are less well known, and
adaptations of the hormonal ranges for athletes are yet to be
determined. There is also a lack of standardized diagnostic
criteria, consistent assessment methods and biomarkers. This book
offers a systematic review of the hormonal aspects of overtraining
syndrome, and a comparison with sports-related syndromes triggered
by chronic deprivation of different sorts, including the female
athlete triad (and its derivative, RED-S) and burnout syndrome of
the athlete (BSA). It demonstrates that these conditions, although
studied separately from each other, may all be different
manifestations of the same condition, leading to 'maladaptive'
(dysfunctional forced adaptations to a hostile environment) changes
in response to chronic depletion of energy and mechanisms of
repair, causing multiple dysfunctions. The author proposes that
OTS/Paradoxical Deconditioning Syndrome (PDS), RED-S/TRIAD and BSA
are parts of a same condition, or at least a group of similar
conditions. Further, the book offers a chronological overview of
OTS, based on preliminary research. Given its broad scope, this
concise reference book will appeal to a range of health
professionals. It allows readers, including those without a strong
academic background, to gain a systematic understanding of OTS.
