<ul>
	<li>There are THREE terms: Overtraining, Staleness, and Burnout.</li>
	<li>🚫 Mistake alert! They aren&#39;t the same, even if some people use them interchangeably.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Overtraining: The process. Think of it like baking a cake - you&#39;re adding in ingredients (exercise) hoping for a tasty result.</li>
	<li>Staleness: The outcome. Uh-oh, you added too much salt! Performance doesn&rsquo;t improve or gets worse.</li>
</ul>

Imagine training for a marathon. If you train too much (overtrain), you might not see better results or even start running slower (staleness). But wait, there&#39;s more!

<ul>
	<li>Staleness: Still want to swim, but times in the pool aren&#39;t improving.</li>
	<li>Burnout: Not only are times bad, but also, &quot;Why am I even swimming? 🤷&zwj;♂️&quot;. There&#39;s a lack of motivation.</li>
</ul>

Burnout didn&rsquo;t start in sports. It was first noticed in jobs! Freudenberger (1974) saw it in New York volunteers. They felt exhausted and drained because of their work environment.

<ul>
	<li>Originated in work environments, especially in high-stress jobs.</li>
	<li>Maslach &amp; Jackson (1984) split burnout into
	<ul>
		<li>Emotional exhaustion (Feeling drained)</li>
		<li>Depersonalization (Feeling detached or cynical)</li>
		<li>Reduction in performance (Not working as efficiently)</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

For athletes, Raedeke et al. (2002) broke it down to:

<ul>
	<li>Feeling unaccomplished</li>
	<li>Resenting the sport</li>
	<li>Feeling exhausted, both mentally and physically.</li>
</ul>

It&rsquo;s not just the training that causes burnout. It&#39;s a mix of training pressures and what&#39;s going on in the athlete&#39;s mind and life. Gustafsson et al. (2007) found that even athletes with intense training sometimes didn&rsquo;t burn out. It&rsquo;s not just about the hours put in!

Remember Martina Hingis? 🎾 She won Wimbledon at 16. But by 21, she left tennis. Why? The media said it was due to &ldquo;burnout&rdquo; and &ldquo;repetitive ankle injuries&rdquo;. Burnout isn&rsquo;t just a term; it affects real-life superstars!

<ul>
	<li>Overtraining, Staleness, and Burnout are related but different.</li>
	<li>Overtraining leads to staleness, but there&#39;s a bigger jump to burnout.</li>
	<li>Burnout is complex and can be influenced by both training and personal factors.</li>
</ul>

Now, ace that test and don&rsquo;t burn out studying! 🌟📚🌟
