Overtraining Syndrome: Recognizing and Preventing Athletic Burnout
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts push their bodies to achieve peak performance, but excessive training without adequate recovery can lead to overtraining syndrome (OTS). This condition results in performance decline, chronic fatigue, and increased injury risk, making it crucial for athletes and coaches to recognize its signs and implement strategies to prevent it.

While once thought to be a waste product causing muscle fatigue, lactate is now recognized as a critical fuel source and metabolic regulator. Understanding lactate dynamics and the lactate threshold is essential for optimizing athletic performance and endurance training.
