Rehabilitation and Recovery

Introduction

The paper discuses and highlights the key issues raised by Dr. Geier in his episode of “Overtraining in Sports and Exercise and Much More”. The program based on to highlight the sports injury treatment and prevention plan.

Discussion and Analysis

Exercise breaks down muscles stimulating growth and repair as the person rest. Though the person probably only think about the time you exercise, rest is an equally important part of your training. If a person does more exercise-induced damage to your muscles than his/her body can repair, to develop overtraining syndrome. Overtraining can cause physical weakness, poor sports performance, decreased immune function and fatigue due to a rise in stress hormones. Proper scheduling of exercise and the rest as well as good nutrition can prevent overtraining (Stetson & Ferkel, 2011).

Overtraining causes headaches

Many people who had had undergone exercise properly, but the body does not even fit. Instead, check your exercise level, may be too excessive. What are signs of superfluous exercise? Exercise is good for the body because it can improve the person fitness. But sometimes people do excessive exercise due to want fast or would like to have a thin body ideal. Someone is doing it too much or too strong can lead overtraining or a condition that can negatively affect the body and mind (Pargman, 2011).

Sport Recovery - Heal from overtraining with proper exercise

Proper rest is essential for proper recovery. Most athletes understand this, yet their competitive drive and the false belief that more is better leads them to over-train. The body heals and repairs muscles and joints during rest periods and continuous overtraining have been shown to dramatically reduce performance. Rest days allow us to heal and repair both physically and psychologically.

Variety is considered the spice of life because it provides unique experiences and drives our cerebellum to learn new activities and tasks. Rest days provide the opportunity to think differently and bring a greater degree of depth to their lives. This process reinvigorates the athletes' drive for success in their individual sport. Recreational athletes and lay people engaging in a regular exercise program need rest days as well in order to provide better balance among home, work, family and enjoyment (Kelly, 2010).

Athletes, who are consistently training and focusing specifically on their sport, can often experience mental burn-out. This leads to a general feeling of fatigue, malaise and a loss of enthusiasm for their sport. This very often causes moodiness and depression and a decrease in training intensity and performance. The remarkable result is often times a continued need to compulsively exercise out of a constant fear of falling short of their expectations. Unfortunately, this mindset only creates more problems and further loss of performance capacity.

Overtraining dramatically affects us on a physical level as well. The most common symptoms we experience are muscle/joint pain, headaches, insomnia and decreased immunity. Athletes and lay people, who do not give themselves adequate rest, very often come down with colds and flu that linger much longer than ...
