[[File:Supercompensation-overload.png|right|thumb|400px|This graphical representation shows the decline in performance as training occurs without sufficient recovery time (the overload period), followed by a rest period that allows for full recovery and [[Supercompensation]].]]
Overload training involves repeated training bouts without sufficient time for recovery ([[Overtraining]]), which builds up fatigue. This overload period is then followed by a period of rest to allow for full recovery and [[Supercompensation]] to increase fitness. Care must be taken with Overload training to prevent [[Overtraining Syndrome]]. Overload training is a normal part of healthy, effective training. Overload (AKA 'functional overreaching') has a short term performance decrement, but without the severe psychological and long lasting negative symptoms of [[Overtraining Syndrome]]<ref name="OTEcssPos"/>. The key differentiation between Overload and [[Overtraining Syndrome]] is that Overload results in an overall performance improvement after recovery. Overload can be recovered from in a few days<ref name="OTPhysioReview"/> and the Overload period is normally between a couple of days and 3 weeks<ref name="OvertraingInSport"/>. Overload is part of a [[Three Phase Taper]].
