How Do You Over-Train?

[TheEvilSaint]

how is it possible to overtrain? does it drain you of your stamina or something? how can training so much be bad?

[Brockton Lip]

My guess is not only will the body be fatigued, you'll be practicing movements with less than perfect form from being tired. Then you'll get in the habit of performing incorrectly.

it's training too damn much and too hard that your burnt out and won't be able to fight as good as you should. has a litle bit to do with fatigue also. Happened to me once in the provincials (we went on runs 3 times a day for 1 month) and had no stamina in our first game and we practised every day also for 1 month & in the game we had absolutely no touch.

training so much can be bad like if your lifting weights and you do chest 3 days straight its being overworked and it will be fatigued which can also lead to injury

Over Excersion (sp?), may lead to an injury i believe....

Also it will drain your stamina and, if your body dehydrates or something like that, this can affect the delicate balance of your fitness....

rest is just as important as training, if you train the same area, whether its weights, running, arm work. leg work etc whatever it is will lead to you fatigue.
Dont train when your ill either cos that ****s you up

Overtraining can be almost as bad as doing nothing at all. If your body has no time to rest it cannot grow, because growth occurs during rest. Plus as everyone else has said it depletes stamina robs you of your energy.

If you are over trained you will have less calories stored in your body. Less calories means less fuel for your body and thus you will not be able to compete as long as you should be able to.

[tebe6sm]

Overtraining doesn't necessarily mean just less calories in the body. The amount of calories in the body depends largely on the amount of food you eat. You could jog for 2 minutes and still have less calories in the body if you don't eat enough during the day.
