The Claim
Combinations of clinical, biochemical, hormonal, and body composition variables, as represented in the EROS-CLINICAL, EROS-SIMPLIFIED, and EROS-COMPLETE scores, have been reported in a single uncontrolled study to distinguish male athletes with overtraining syndrome (OTS) from healthy controls, suggesting that multisystem assessment may be necessary for the identification of OTS.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Some scores that combine health, hormone, and body measurements might help tell the difference between male athletes who are overtrained and those who aren’t — but right now, there’s only one small study showing this.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Diagnosing Overtraining Syndrome: A Scoping Review
The study found that tools combining different health measurements, like hormones and body composition, have been used to spot overtraining in athletes, which matches what the claim says.
