Athlete Fatigue & Burnout
One of the challenges of successful multisport athletes – especially in an area such as PEI where athletes may participate competitively in more than one or two sports – is fatigue.
Sport PEI supports the importance of multisport participation in developing athletes, but it is also important to monitor training load to ensure the athletes are healthy and able to compete to their best ability.
While both athlete fatigue and burnout involve exhaustion, fatigue refers to a temporary physical tiredness often resulting from intense training and physical and mental load over a period of weeks.
