TL;DR
When a young athlete complains of chronic fatigue, declining performance, and dental lassitude-symptoms of burnout syndrome-a comprehensive diagnostic approach is required.
Abstract
In brief: When a young athlete complains of chronic fatigue, declining performance, and dental lassitude-symptoms of burnout syndrome-a comprehensive diagnostic approach is required. Identification of anthropometric, physiological, or psychological abnormalities that interfere with normal exercise capacity usually can be made by means of a complete medical history and physical lamination along with limited laboratory testing. In most situations, proper therapeutic intervention will reverse exercise impairment and restore the patient's normal ability to tolerate physical activity.

This study supports the assumption that overtraining is a marker of overtraining in endurance athletes who greatly increase their workout distance by demonstrating increased morning heart rates in 12 men who ran twice their regular training mileage during a 500-km (312-mile) road race over 20 days.

The observations that sideroblast counts in bone marrow smears were normal and that both red cell indices and red cell protoporphyrin were normal strongly support the conclusion that lack of iron had not limitated erythropoiesis or the formation of an optimal red cell mass.

Physicians should screen athletes for anemia, suboptimal hemoglobin, and the factors that apparently increase the risk of these conditions: a diet that is low in iron, protein, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and/or folic acid; and high rates of iron loss.

It is the point where too much training puts the athlete over-rather than at-his or her peak, and ways to prevent it are suggested by monitoring post-workout weight, evening fluid intake, time to bed, loss of sleep, and morning heart rate.
