During an exercise program, clients should monitor their fatigue levels to prevent what?

Monitoring fatigue levels during an exercise program is essential to prevent overtraining syndrome. Overtraining syndrome occurs when there is an imbalance between training and recovery, leading to prolonged fatigue and decreased performance. It is characterized by excessive training without adequate rest, which can cause not only physical but also psychological issues, such as mood disturbances and decreased motivation. By closely monitoring fatigue, clients can recognize signs of overtraining and adjust their exercise intensity, duration, and frequency to ensure proper recovery and maintain a healthy balance in their training regimen. This approach is particularly important for individuals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, who may already experience heightened levels of fatigue and require careful management of their energy expenditure.
