TY - JOUR AU - Cadegiani, Flavio A. AU - Kater, Claudio E. PY - 2017 DA - 2017/08/02 TI - Hormonal aspects of overtraining syndrome: a systematic review JO - BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation SP - 14 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - Overtraining syndrome (OTS), functional (FOR) and non-functional overreaching (NFOR) are conditions diagnosed in athletes with decreased performance and fatigue, triggered by metabolic, immune, hormonal and other dysfunctions and resulted from an imbalance between training stress and proper recovery. Despite previous descriptions, there is a lack of a review that discloses all hormonal findings in OTS/FOR/NFOR. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate whether and which roles hormones play in OTS/FOR/NFOR.
