Abstract: To examine the efficacy of a 3-week, high-intensity, resistance
exercise protocol for inducing overtraining, 9 subjects trained
their lower body on a squat-simulating resistance exercise
machine. Five subjects performed a training (Trn) protocol
5 days a week to elicit an overtraining response. Four subjects
performed a control (Con) protocol 2 days a week. Test batteries
of sprints, jumps, and strength tests were performed four
times during the study at I-week intervals (Tl, T2, T3, T4).
One-RM performances increased for the Trn group by T2
and remained augmented through T4. Overtraining did not
occur, but other performances were attenuated for the Tm
group. Increased sprint times for 9.1 m and 36.6 m were
evident by T2 for the Tm group and remained slower through
T4. Leg extension torque decreased for the Trn group by T4.
Future attempts to induce intensity-dependent overtraining
for study should use greater training intensities or different
training modalities and should monitor phYSiological factors
that may contribute to this phenomenon.
