English Reading Directions: In this practice test, you will show how well you understand written English. There are two selections and some questions about each one. For each question, mark the letter of the correct answer on your answer sheet.
Overtraining: Too Much of a Good Thing 1 Athletes work hard to train their bodies. They practice often and for long periods of time. Many people assume that the more athletes train, the better they will become. However, this is true only to a 5 point. It is possible to train too much. Athletes work out to strengthen and condition their muscles. This training is essential. On the other hand, muscles also need rest. They need time to recover from exercise. Muscles actually become torn during training, 10 so they need time to heal. Overtraining happens when an athlete works out so much that the muscles do not have adequate time to rest. As a result, performance does not improve. In fact, performance gets worse with overtraining. How do some athletes respond to their 15 decreased performance? They train even harder. They think that if they just practice more, their performance will improve. In fact, the opposite is true. There are many signs and symptoms that an athlete may be overtraining. Some signs are physical and others 20 are emotional. The most obvious physical symptom is decreased performance. Other physical symptoms include difficulty sleeping and unusual muscle soreness.

The most common emotional symptom of overtraining is depression.
25 Overtraining affects up to 15 percent of top-level athletes every year. Athletes in sports that require endurance, such as running and biking, are most likely to be affected. The best treatment for overtraining is rest. Training less than usual for a few weeks or 30 months is the best way to correct the problem. Most athletes eventually recover from overtraining, but it can be a frustrating experience.
