Abstract: Overtraining is a syndrome that athletes exhibit when they are subject to high intensity of training without observing the balance between training and resting, which leads to chronic fatigue and cortisol level increase. Although experts tried to identify the cause of fatigue, the opinions are still controversial. Fatigue is strictly related to the type of muscle fiber (rapid firing). The higher percentage rate of rapid firing in the body, the faster rate of muscle fatigue. The direct cause of decrease it is not necessarily the lactic acid level increase. Overtraining can be very difficult to detect in an athlete, and thorough clinical examination is required to reach proper diagnosis.
