The European
College of Sport Science and the American College of Sports Medicine have
released a new consensus statement regarding the prevention, diagnosis/evaluation
(e.g., biochemical, functional, psychological), and treatment of overtraining syndrome.
The paper also discusses key definitions, epidemiology, and provides an
interesting flow chart for diagnosing overtraining syndrome in athletes.
