This volume summarizes the proceedings of the Reisensburg workshop
which took place at Reisensburg Castle in November 1997." The
castle is built on the site of an - cient Roman compound and
situated in the south of Germany at the Danube river. Sci- tists
from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Italy,
Netherlands, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States
participated in the workshop. Like the 1996 workshop, the
proceedings of which will be published in Medicine and Science in
Sports and Ex- cise in 1998, the 1997 workshop also focused on the
topic of overtraining in its widest sense to deepen our knowledge
in this particularly sensitive field of sports science and sports
practice. The authors see the present volume in a context with the
proceedings p- sented by Guten (ed. ) "Running Injuries"; Saunders,
Philadelphia (1997) and Kxeider, Fry, and O'Toole (eds. )
"Overtraining in Sport"; Human Kinetics, Champaign IL (1997).
Overtraining, that is, too much stress combined with too little
time for regeneration, can be seen as a crucial and threatening
problem within the modern athletic community, of which significance
can already be recognized reading daily newspapers: ." . . During
the 1996 European championships, a gymnast shook his head almost
imperceptibly, closed his eyes briefly and left the arena without
looking up. He was fatigue personified. 'Suddenly, I just couldn't
do any more. I just wanted to rest'." A look at his schedule showed
why.
