Supercompensation is the adaptive process following training where the body overcompensates to handle future stressors, leading to improved performance. It requires a balance of stress and recovery, as inadequate recovery can hinder progress and lead to overtraining.

Overtraining occurs when an athlete exceeds their body's ability to recover, leading to decreased performance and increased risk of injury. It is critical to balance training intensity and rest to prevent the negative effects associated with overtraining syndrome.
