Symptoms can vary wildly from person to person. Other life stresses, such as working long hours, difficult relationships, dieting, and not getting enough sleep, can accelerate the syndrome.

Overreaching is a similar condition to overtraining and it is also characterized by performance decline, but recovery takes several days to weeks.
