Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the existing theories related to overtraining syndrome and to examine the mechanism of overtraining syndrome from the viewpoint of brain science by examining domestic and foreign literature related to the relationship between overtraining syndrome and brain neurotransmitter. The aim of this paper is to provide basic data that can improve the understanding of the mechanism of overtraining syndrome and the role of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. The results of this study and a number of hypotheses about the overtraining syndrome were proposed, each with strengths and weaknesses. Similar symptoms that occur when the concentration of serotonin in the neurotransmitter increases are related to signs and symptoms of overtraining syndrome. However, it has not been validated to date because it can not distinguish the mechanism of the mediator between the central nervous system and the peripheral nerves. This study suggests that the mechanism of overtraining syndrome will provide important basic information to understand the complex causes of overtraining syndrome through the interaction of existing theory and brain neurotransmitter. Although there has been a lack of studies on the mechanism of overtraining syndrome and brain neurotransmitters so far, we hope that this study will provide an opportunity for more and more people to broaden their understanding of overtraining syndromes.
