[edit] hot tub as solution
I not sure if lactic acid has anything to do with overtraining. And thus really not sure about the hot tub solution. See Delayed onset muscle soreness. --Janto 11:38, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, is there any proof that any of the proposed solutions work? --Janto 20:56, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- hot tub is no longer in there. the proposed solutions all have their place, however given different causes of overtraining not all will be aplicable. for instance the CNS can be overtrained and not neccesarily the musculature and vice versa. StrengthCoach 00:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm just very sceptical whether things like ice baths and contrast showers will have any real effect - even if only the musculature is overtrained. Seperating it into CNS and musculature related solutions (if that has any meaning) would also be helpful. Do you know of any studies conducted? --Janto 15:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- ...[cooling therapy] has no dramatic effect, but some minor effects on reducing exercise-induced muscle edema in the subacute phase and relieving the extent of the damaged muscle cells. - Eur J Appl Physiol. 2003 Mar;89(1):53-62. Epub 2003 Jan 14.
- Some studies cite that ice therapy has negligible effect on the indicators of muscle damage.
- DOMS should not be used as a reliable indicator for overtraining. StrengthCoach 17:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- Good. Can you add some of that info? It would be nice if the article was less pseudoscientific. I reworked it a bit. --Janto 15:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the 'decreased sexual performance' symptom. For all my knowledge on this subject, I have never specifically encountered this symptom reported or measured in any scientific study. It has not (to my knowledge) been scientifically verified. It was probably put up there by someone as a joke?!ToyotaPanasonic 12:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- For "all your knowledge", you've overlooked the link between lowered testosterone levels and overtraining. Overtraining's effects of sexual performance is well documented. (Roberts AC, McClure RD, Weiner RI, Brooks GA. (1993). Overtraining affects male reproductive status. Fertility and Sterility, 60, 686-692)
- Perhaps before simply removing content, you should discuss it here first. I'm adding it back. Yankees76 20:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
