Abstract

The phenomenon of early burnout among athletes has garnered increasing attention due to its impact on athletic performance and long-term health. This qualitative study examines the factors contributing to early body burnout in sports persons compared to the general population. Drawing on existing literature and scientific theories, the study explores the multifaceted nature of burnout, highlighting lifestyle influences, training dynamics, and psychosocial factors. Key areas of focus include the effects of chronic sleep deprivation, inadequate nutrition, and ineffective stress management on physical and mental health. Additionally, the study investigates the role of overtraining syndrome, hormonal imbalances, and neuroendocrine dysfunction in accelerating burnout. The findings underscore the importance of a holistic approach to athlete care, integrating physical training, nutrition, recovery strategies, and mental health support to prevent burnout and promote sustainable performance. Recommendations for the development of integrative wellness programs, effective training periodization, and enhanced education for athletes and support staff are discussed. This study is very helpful to explore the knowledge towards early body burnout in athletes and intervention strategies aimed at optimizing athlete well-being and career longevity.
