Overtraining/Recovery Testing

Hey all,

Didnt know which forum to put this topic under but...

I was wondering if anyone had any info regarding overtraining tests, physiologically or psychologically? I think there are tests regarding the duration you can sustain max tension, tests regarding rapid tapping of the hands/feet, heart rate, blood pressure, etc, but I am not sure of the specifics on these. Anyone familiar or had experience with these? Thanks!

i actually had some good notes on that.. i lost most of my notes, but when i go home maybe i can dig something up.

from personal experience though, the best test is "stop watch double click" (or something similar to what you mentioned above about tapping of hands and feet).. i just double-click a stopwatch with my thumb as fast as i can.. when i'm feeling fine i get .13 or lower.. when i'm "overtrained" i've had periods where i can't even get below .17...

-omegawave  ;)

-sensitivity to light

-drowsiness throughout morning/day after a good nights sleep with no other explanation (ie sickness)


*key is not confusing over training with overreaching

Overreaching is much easily recovered from and not as serious and more at the muscular level i believe

any comments or opinion on the differences adarq or anyone else?

sensitivity to light is a GREAT one..

the drowsiness im not so sure of, because I've experienced it on some of my best workouts/jump sessions. I'll wake up feeling tired, just moap around for a bit, then get in the mindset go train and i'm amped.

ya, most people experience overreaching, true overtraining severely affects you for long periods.

Regarding sleep, I read that the sleep cycle is 90 minutes. So if you wake up around the 45 minute mark, thats the deepest part of sleep, so you'll feel more tired if you wake up at that point of the cycle. Thats why naps should be 20 minutes or less, so you don't get into the deep end.
