Which of the following is NOT a commonly reported symptom of overtraining after surgery or injury?
  1. Soreness lasting more than 24 hours
  2. Decreased range of motion
  3. Reduction in pain at night
  4. Swelling, erythema or warmth in healing tissues
Explanation
Answer: C - Overtraining after surgery or injury can produce pain -- including a notable increase in pain at night -- decreased range of motion, and signs of inflammation, such as swelling, redness and warmth. Individuals who have over-exercised may show a progressive muscle weakness which can culminate in a decrease in functional activity. When there is tissue damage in the body, the goal is to provide challenging exercise that will not cause any more damage.
