Análise dos sintomas de overtraining durante os períodos de treinamento e recuperação: estudo de caso de uma equipe feminina da Superliga de Voleibol 2003/2004

Abstract

Overtraining is a process involving progressively increased training to a high absolute level that is in excess of more routine training undertaken to maintain performance. However, its excessive increase may impair the physical and mental health of the athlete. The aim of this study was to keep up with levels of stress and recovery of volleyball athletes during the Brazilian Women's Super League 2003League /2004 were evaluated during two periods, training and rest by answering a stress and recovery questionnaire (RESTQ-Sport-76). Stress levels were measured through the scales 1 to 7 (general stress) and 13 to 15 (stress sports). Its results showed significant differences between perceptions of athletes in all scales (p≤0.05) during training and rest. Levels of sports and general recovery are known through nine scales. In five of them (9, 10, 11, 12 and 16) there were significant differences (p≤0.05) and in four, (8, 13, 14 and 15) there was low recovery by the athletes. The conclusion is that RESTQ-Sport-76 was able to assess stress and recovery levels in volleyball athletes and this group demonstrated low recovery during training period.

Psychological and Physiological Features Associated with Swimming Performance

“…Values obtained in stress subscales of the present research swimmers were higher than those obtained during rest and training periods in volleyball players; however, the recovery perception of swimmers was smaller than in rest periods but similar in the training period of volleyball players [27]. Then, the perceived stress associated to the training workload of swimmers was higher than volleyball players.…”

Exercício físico, rendimento acadêmico e sintomas de overtraining em estudantes de medicina / Physical exercise, academic performance and overtraining symptoms in medicine students

“…A dieta aparece como um fator que pode influenciar o esgotamento físico e mental, tendo em vista que é essencial para manter as funções basais corporais, ao mesmo tempo em que permite e auxilia a regeneração dos tecidos lesados. Com isso, não havendo uma alimentação adequada, a necessidade energética do sistema nervoso central (SNC) não é suprida, levando a possíveis sintomas típicos de exaustão, tais como estresse emocional e social, fadiga, perda de energia, queixas somáticas e lesões (NOCE et al, 2004).…”

Hormonal responses to a stress load and state anxiety, mood, tiredness, and recovery in Portuguese police cadets

“…Regarding perceived stress, the objective was to evaluate the level of tiredness and stress to which participating cadets would be subject, since the literature shows that, when one is exposed to a training load, higher levels of stress and/or lower levels of recovery are expected; to wit: (i) Coutts et al. 28 observed, in experienced male triathletes, stress and lower recovery with increasing training loads (which improved after load reduction); (ii) Noce et al 29 observed, in female volleyball athletes, low stress and high recovery scores during a competition; and (iii) González-Boto et al 30 reported similar findings in swimmers. In addition, in the present study we found that: (i) pre-CAFP cortisol levels correlated directly with general stress and inversely with being in shape; and (ii) pre-CAFP testosterone levels correlated inversely with sleep quality.…”
