The most important models that, from different approaches, try to explain this situation are then presented. In the second section, models related to the burnout hypothesis, such as Smith s cognitive-affective model (1986), Schmidt and Stein s sport commitment model (1991), Coakley s social model (1992), Kelley s stress and burnout model (1994) and Garcés and Vives s integrated model (2003) are exposed. The hypothesis of the stress-recovery state is subsequently developed, explaining the most significant implications of both stress and recovery in sport. The characteristics of two of the most important models based on this hypothesis: Kellmann s scissor model of stress-recovery state (1991) and Kenttä and Hassmén s stress-recovery state model (1998) are described. Finally, in order to get a better understanding of the short and long-term manifestations of overtraining, a new model based on both the burnout and stress-recovery approaches is proposed.  a1134-7937  a2174-0437
