Training

Adaptation and fatigue

How the body responds to load, overload, and overtraining.

Fatigue
Why post-workout fatigue is normal, types of tiredness, the link to adaptation, and when fatigue becomes a problem.
Overreaching
Functional vs non-functional overreaching — when load outruns recovery, how to tell them apart, and what to do.
Progressive overload
What progressive overload is, how to progress beyond adding weight, common mistakes, and why small steps compound.
Overtraining syndrome
What overtraining syndrome (OTS) is, how it differs from fatigue and overreaching, signs, prevention, and BALANS practice.
