Abstract

In brief Exercise-related fatigue is not brief confined to elite athletes. Frequent exercisers often experience chronic fatigue, overuse injuries, recurrent infections, and decreased motivation or performance- symptoms traditionally described as "overtraining syndrome." For this large population of active people who often do not perceive their exercise as training, patient education with emphasis on rest and recovery is essential to successful management.
