Adrenal Fatigue and Workouts

Meaning

Adrenal Fatigue and Workouts refers to the non-clinical, popular concept suggesting that chronic overtraining or excessive life stress leads to an exhausted state of the adrenal glands, resulting in persistent tiredness and compromised recovery. Clinical endocrinology prefers the term HPA axis dysregulation, which accurately describes the altered communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. This physiological state is characterized by nonspecific symptoms such as reduced exercise tolerance and difficulty recovering from physical exertion, often without evidence of true adrenal failure.
