Markers for monitoring overtraining and recovery
Abstract
Physiological and mood state parameters were monitored during a 6-month swimming season in an attempt to determine markers of overtraining and recovery. Fourteen elite male and female swimmers were tested early-, mid-, and late-season and shortly before and after major competition. Training details and subjective ratings of well-being were compiled by the athletes in daily logs. Three swimmers were classified as stale based upon performance deterioration and prolonged, high fatigue levels. Staleness scores were calculated for each athlete using performance change from early- to late-season and daily fatigue ratings for the season. Regression analysis revealed a battery of well-being ratings which predicted staleness scores, accounting for 76% of the variance. The late-season stress ratings and plasma catecholamine levels at rest predicted staleness scores, accounting for 85% of the variance. During tapering, well-being ratings predicted improvement in competitive performance, accounting for 72% of the variance of the improvement in race times from previous best times. It was concluded that self-reported ratings of well-being may provide an efficient means of monitoring both overtraining and recovery; plasma catecholamine levels at rest may provide an additional objective tool for diagnosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
