* '''[[Too Much Too Soon]]''' (TMTS) is different to [[Overtraining Syndrome]], but it is related. [[Too Much Too Soon]] is where a new training stress is increased too quickly, combined with too little recovery causing injuries, but without the impaired performance, persistent fatigue, and mood changes of [[Overtraining Syndrome]]. ''(Main article: [[Too Much Too Soon]].)''
* '''[[Overuse]]''' is similar to TMTS, but is where a long term imbalance between training and recovery leads to injuries. Like TMTS, overuse does not have the mood changes that are indicative of [[Overtraining Syndrome]]. With [[Overuse]] passive recovery is often insufficient. ''(Main article: [[Overuse]].)''
* '''[[Overload]]''' is a normal part of healthy, effective training. Overload has a short term performance decrement, but without the severe psychological and long lasting negative symptoms of [[Overtraining Syndrome]]<ref name="OTEcssPos"/>. Overload is sometimes called 'functional overreaching'. Overload can be recovered from in a few days<ref name="OTPhysioReview"/>.
* '''[[Overtraining Syndrome]]''' is where the imbalance between training and recovery produces a decrease in performance and negative psychological changes. The negative effects of overreaching do not produce overall performance improvements through [[Supercompensation]]. ''(Main article: [[Overtraining Syndrome]].)''
** [[Overtraining Syndrome Subtypes]]. There are various ways of categorizing Overtraining Syndrome. One division is based on recovery time, with recovery in two weeks or less being called 'Overreaching' (AKA non-functional overreaching<ref name="OTPhysioReview"/><ref name="OTEcssPos"/> and 'Overtraining Syndrome' (OTS) requiring several weeks<ref name="OTPhysioReview"/>, or months<ref name="OTEcssPos"/> and sometimes years<ref name="OTDepression"/>. Other categorizations use the associated mental health impacts of [[Overtraining Syndrome]].
