Key result
Heart rate, heart rate variability, and heart rate recovery are proposed for monitoring training status, but their definitive role in detecting overtraining syndrome remains to be elucidated.

Heart rate metrics show inconsistent utility for OTS detection; leaves open need for validated longitudinal biomarkers before clinical use.
Can heart rate modulations be used to detect and assess overtraining syndrome in athletes?
Heart rate modulations are useful for monitoring training status, but their specific utility for diagnosing overtraining syndrome remains unclear and requires further prospective study.
Dejan et al. (2013) conducted a review in Overtraining syndrome. Heart rate modulations was evaluated. Heart rate, heart rate variability, and heart rate recovery are proposed for monitoring training status, but their definitive role in detecting overtraining syndrome remains to be elucidated.
