The Claim
Overtraining syndrome in Paralympic athletes is associated with an increased risk of bone stress injuries, particularly among those participating in endurance sports, due to excessive training load, inadequate recovery, and low energy availability, which may disrupt bone remodeling and lead to greater accumulation of microdamage in bone tissue.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Paralympic athletes who train too much without enough rest or fuel might be more likely to get stress injuries in their bones, especially if they do endurance sports like racing or long-distance events.
See the scientific wording
Overtraining syndrome (OTS) is associated with an increased risk of bone stress injuries in paralympic athletes, particularly those engaged in endurance sports, due to a combination of excessive training load, inadequate recovery, and low energy availability, which may disrupt bone remodeling and increase microdamage accumulation.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Overtraining Syndrome as a Risk Factor for Bone Stress Injuries among Paralympic Athletes
The study looks at how too much training without enough rest or food can lead to bone injuries in Paralympic athletes, which supports the idea in the claim.
