OVERLOAD AND OVERTRAINING 5

This fourth issue of Volume 14 of Coaching Science Abstracts reviews articles concerned with overload and overtraining. Four previous issues, namely Volume 1(3), Volume 4(3), Volume 7(4), and and Volume 10(4) also dealt with this topic. The information from those four 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.
