OVERLOAD AND OVERTRAINING 6

This fourth issue of Volume 16 of Coaching Science Abstracts reviews articles concerned with overload and overtraining. Five previous issues, namely Volume 1(3), Volume 4(3), Volume 7(4), Volume 10(4), and Volume 13(4) also dealt with this topic. The information from those five sources, as well as that contained in this issue, will yield an extensive knowledge base of recent research in the application of the overload principle and overtraining, which results from extended and excessive overload training.
