Over-training and longevity with Dr Phillip Batterson
Notas do episódio
Recognising the signs of over-training is crucial for athletes to prevent injury, burnout, and long-term performance decline.
Over-training occurs when an athlete pushes their body beyond its ability to recover, leading to physical and mental fatigue, decreased motivation, and higher injury risk. It often happens when there's an imbalance between intense training and insufficient rest.
Athletes may over-train due to a desire to improve performance quickly, pressure to compete, or a mindset of pushing through fatigue, not realizing that recovery is as important as the training itself.
In this episode, Dr. Phillip Patterson explains in more detail why and what to look out for regarding overtraining. Enjoy!
