OVERSTRAINING Meaning and
Definition
-
Overstraining refers to the act of exerting excessive force, effort, or pressure on something or someone beyond their normal limits. It involves pushing or stretching something beyond its capacity or capability, either physically or mentally, resulting in detrimental effects or potential damage.
In a physical context, overstraining can occur when a person engages in intense exercise or activities that surpass their fitness level or stamina, causing muscle strains, sprains, or even more serious injuries. It can also be seen in an object or structure that is subjected to a heavier load or stress than it was designed to handle, leading to potential structural failure or breakage.
In a mental or emotional sense, overstraining can occur when individuals subject themselves to excessive stress, pressure, or demands, often leading to exhaustion, burnout, or psychological distress. This can happen in high-pressure work environments, where individuals consistently push themselves to meet unrealistic expectations or work long hours without adequate rest.
Overstraining can have deleterious consequences on physical health, mental well-being, and overall performance. It is important to recognize and manage the signs of overstraining by implementing appropriate rest periods, seeking support or assistance when needed, and ensuring proper training or guidance is in place for physical activities. By doing so, individuals can prevent unnecessary harm and maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Etymology of OVERSTRAINING
The word "overstraining" is derived from the combination of two root words: "over" and "strain".
1. "Over" is derived from the Old English word "ofer", which means "beyond" or "above". It can also indicate excess or exaggeration.
2. "Strain" comes from the Middle English word "streinen" or "streignen", which is derived from the Old French word "estreindre". It ultimately traces back to the Latin word "stringere", meaning "to draw tight" or "tighten".
By combining these two root words, "overstraining" refers to the excessive or exaggerated application of force, pressure, or effort.
