Training Vs Straining and Olympic Weightlifting
Training is the only several stressor that bombard the athlete each day. The include career studies domestic life, social life, institutional demands and so on. Where total load of these stressors is in the keeping with his level of adaptation to stress training will progress normally and performances will improve. Fatigue induced by the by training should be overcome relatively, quickly depending on the nature of loading. But in any case even after very heavy loadings, the initial value at rest is regained with in 24 48 hours. This sort of fatigue is normal. The athlete will be ready to tackle normal physical and mental work after the training loads and should feel well rested and fully recovered the morning after.
On the other hand the cumulative stressor may be too much for the athlete and this will be referred to as over stressing the athlete. Short of complete and regular bioprofiles on athletes, which demands access to physiological testing laboratories, the coach has very little with which to assess the contribution of training to sum total of stressors. Overstressing causes progressive fatigue. Capacity is not restored after training in this situation and will continue to deteriorate until the causes of over stressing are removed.
In 1963 Israel points out that over stressing can easily produce over excitation of the system over stimulation, over depression over inhibition. He refers to the former as over training and suggests that this occurs mainly as a result of a sudden over stressing of too great an amount of loadings at sub maximum intensity, or of over stressing the powers of concentration. He refers to the later as over stressing and this is particularly promoted by very comprehensive endurance loading with persistently slight overdoses of loading extent.
Principal Faults in the Training Process
Recovery is neglected mistakes in the build up of micro and macro cycles and inadequate use of general exercise sessions for recovery. Demands are increased too quickly so that adaptation can not be consolidated.
- Too rapid increase of loading after forced break injuries, illness.
- Too great an extent of loading of maximum and sub maximum intensity.
- Too high an intensity of duration loading in endurance training.
- Excess and forced technical schooling in complicated courses of movement without adequate recovery.
- Excess of competitions with maximum demands, combined with frequent disturbance of the daily routine and insufficient training.
- Excess bias of training methods and units.
- Lack of trust in the coach, repeated setbacks as a result of coach setting sights too high.

Recognizing the condition of over stress or over exertion requires close liaison between doctor, coach and athlete and if possible parents too. Obviously one can not rely entirely on these criteria although they may help stimulate investigation or comment by doctor, parent or athlete. The parent or family will almost certainly have noticed changed in mood, inability to concentrate and increasing irritability. All of which are the first signs of over stressing. The doctor's advice should be sought at this point or at the latest when sleep is disturbed appetite lost.
A close observation can help to eliminate the possibility of serious effects of over stressing. All performance must be checked and competition pressure must be removed, and active recovery put in their place. It is very important to remember that training is only part of battery of stressor and may very well not be the primary cause. Nevertheless the latter must be isolated and removed from before training can be restored to its previous level. The doctor must always be consulted and he may suggest therapy along the lines advanced shown as bellow:
