Overtraining in Sport is the first comprehensive text on the physiological, biomedical, and psychological aspects of overtraining and overreaching in sport. Thirty-three leading researchers contribute 17 chapters to this multidisciplinary review of recent findings. Overtraining in Sport is an outstanding reference for exercise physiologists, sport psychologists, strength and conditioning coaches, and anyone with a serious interest in the potential effects of training too often or too intensely
