Question

1. mei experienced persistent fatigue, decreased performance, and mood swings after increasing the intensity and frec workouts without adequate rest. what could have helped her avoid these symptoms of overtraining?

pushing through the fatigue to improve her endurance
adding more high-intensity workouts to break through the plateau
consuming energy drinks to combat fatigue and improve performance
incorporating rest days and monitoring her body’s response to training

Explanation:

Mei has overtraining symptoms due to insufficient rest. Pushing through fatigue (first option) or adding more high - intensity workouts (second option) will worsen overtraining. Energy drinks (third option) don't address the root cause of overtraining (lack of rest). Incorporating rest days and monitoring the body's response (fourth option) directly targets the issue of inadequate rest during increased workout intensity/frequency, helping to prevent overtraining symptoms.

Answer:

D. Incorporating rest days and monitoring her body’s response to training
