Over Training Athletes Some trainers suggest that an athlete is given a rest phase, the body can build a stronger system. Their training plan consists of overloading the body system followed by letting the system rest and rebuild, and then stressing it again to a higher level. The concept of "Periodization: is built on the
premise that managing this stress-and-rest cycle can optimize
improvement and maximize the overall gain in performance. The form of
periodization must be carefully applied to a individual athlete whose
physical characteristics and their training age may produce unexpected
results. Skaters, parents, and coaches should proceed with
caution and not engage in a radical program until they have explored a
modified training program that does not push the skater to extreme
limits. Recommended Reading:
