| Sumario: | The objective of this study was to verify if the academic performance is correlated with the state of overtraining, besides comparing the signs of overtraining among practitioners of different amounts of exercise. We tested the hypothesis of impairment in academic performance due to overtraining and a greater presence of overtraining symptoms in physically overactive individuals. The sample consisted of 186 graduate students from different health courses (age: 25±6.65 years, weigth: 68±14.26 kg, height: 1.67±0.09 m). We used an anamnesis to verify the status of physical activity and to divide the sample into three groups: sedentary or insufficiently active (n = 75), moderately active (n = 69) and overactive (n = 41). In addition, we applied the Overtraining Clinical Symptoms Questionnaire, and the academic achievement was obtained through the results of curricular evaluation in the human physiology discipline. The results showed no statistical difference in the correlation between overtraining scores and academic performance (rs=-0.11, p=0.377). The ANOVA indicated a statistical difference in the overtraining scores between sedentary (34.40 ± 13.35) and moderately active (25.86 ± 13.23) (p<0.01), and between sedentary and overactive (20.00 ± 13,36) (p<0.001). We conclude that academic performance was not affected by the overtraining state, however, sedentary or insufficiently active people may be affected by characteristic symptoms of overtraining. There are issues related to the development of overtraining syndrome that are not justified only by the frequency, intensity, duration, and interval of physical exercise sessions. |
