PURPOSE The purpose was to investigate changes in stress and recovery during preparation for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. METHODS Eleven elite rowers of the German National Rowing Team completed four times the Recovery-Stress-Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-Sport). The eight rowers who competed at the Olympic Games filled out the RESTQ-Sport a fifth time, 2 d before the preliminaries. RESULTS Trend parameters revealed significant alterations of somatic components of stress (Lack of…

Changes in perceived stress and recovery in overreached young elite soccer players
TLDR
The longitudinal monitoring of performance and changes in stress and recovery may be useful for the detection of OR in its earliest stage and can be used to optimize individual training and recovery programs.

TLDR
The importance of recovery for elite athletes is highlighted and an overview of monitoring instruments is provided to assist with research that addresses the avoidance of overtraining, maximizes recovery, and successfully negotiates the fine line between high and excessive training loads.
Load, stress, and recovery in adolescent rugby union players during a competitive season
TLDR
It was showed that players with the highest training and physical activity volumes during the season demonstrated more favourable recovery–stress states than moderate- and low-volume groups, and this support the efficacy of serially monitoring young athletes.

TLDR
It is suggested that RESTQ-Sport could be a useful tool for coaches to monitor stress/recovery balance in male and female team-sport athletes during different periods of the season.

Training Stress in Olympic Speed Skaters: A Psychological Perspective
TLDR
Results showed that the skaters selected for the team responded to training with decreasing depression and increasing vigor, reaching a psychological peak just before the trials, and those not selected fluctuated more in mood and never recovered pretraining levels of vigor.
Mood, recovery-stress state, and regeneration
Stressful high intensity training periods are necessary to obtain high performance in sports. However, the simple rule ‘the more — the better’ does not apply in this context. A lot of studies clearly…

The evaluation of the clinical state of an athlete, e.g. of current trainability and of the diagnosis of overload and overtraining, is already one of the most complicated tasks in athletic medicine.…

Overtraining and Recovery
TLDR
The TQR method to facilitate monitoring of the recovery process is suggested and a conceptual model that incorporates all of the important parameters for performance gain (adaptation) and loss (mal Adaptation) is proposed.
Overtraining in Elite Athletes
TLDR
Overtraining is an imbalance between training and recovery that can be explained as a stress response and no sensitive and specific tests are available to prevent or diagnose overtraining.
Psychological effects during reduced training in distance runners.
TLDR
The results suggest that the subjects were unaccustomed to RT, but maintained a positive mood state particularly when it was realized that performance capability was unaltered.
Changes in mood states during training in female and male college swimmers.
TLDR
It was found that female and male swimmers displayed similar mood responses during training in total mood as well as the specific moods of depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, and confusion, with the exception of tension, which remained elevated while training was being reduced.
Mood disturbance following increased training in swimmers.
TLDR
It is concluded that significant psychometric changes occur with an intense 10-d training regimen, and these alterations resemble those observed in swimmers exposed to increased training across several months.
Psychological monitoring of overtraining and staleness.
TLDR
The results indicate that mood state disturbances increased in a dose-response manner as the training stimulus increased and that these mood disturbances fell to baseline levels with reduction of the training load.
