Domaine(s)

In some cases, over-training results in the "staleness syndrome", a condition associated with deteriorating performance and other disturbances that sometimes include depression

OBS

stale: lacking in mental willpower to accomplish a task effectively, due to the use of tired methods of carrying out a task on a routine basis. The term "stale" can also mean out of condition, ineffective or bored as a result of either too much or too little activity. Hence, one can become stale if one does not practice piano on a daily basis and at the same time become stale by practicing the same piece over and over again without adopting a new outlook.
