# Burnout

Burnout is chronic stress-related exhaustion and cynicism, usually assessed in work settings by a clinician, not a fitness app.

In training talk people often mean persistent under-recovery: poor sleep, low mood and flat sessions that do not bounce back with one rest day. That pattern may call for a deload or medical help if it lasts weeks.

Also called: Burn out.
