Most athletes will recover from overtraining syndrome within 4-6 weeks up to 2-3 months. This will all depend on a few factors such as how overtrained you really are, genetics, and age. Determining how overtrained you are can only be answered by the amount of time it takes you to recover.

It takes 18 months to recover although you will not likely gain weight throughout that entire time period. From the time at which you begin weight restoration to the time at which your body weight stabilizes, the average per week weight gain is around 1-2 lbs (0.5 to 1 kg).

Athletes can start to lose their muscle strength in about three weeks if they're not working out, according to a 2013 study. Athletes typically lose less overall muscle strength during a break than nonathletes.

Your Structural System Can Decline. You could suffer muscle power loss and experience coordination issues, because in the opinion of experts studying inactivity in formerly active runners, while fast recovery is possible in the two weeks following running cessation, after 30-days, dramatic changes to the body occur.

The good news Expect to see your cardiovascular fitness return to normal within about two weeks once you jump back on the bandwagon.

You will not return to full strength overnight. Research indicates that successful programs, on average, take three to six weeks to have a significant impact.

Make a long-term commitment. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark found that it takes at least two months of resistance training to cause structural changes (like increased collagen synthesis and density) in the Achilles' tendon.

The entire neuromuscular system, as well as immune function is stressed by weight-training. The bottom line is that your body physically needs time off approximately every 8-10 weeks. Some individuals may need a recovery week more often than this and some less often, but 8-10 weeks is a good general guideline.

Depending upon your time away from fast training, you will have an easy or hard time coming back. Expect to spend at least two days getting back in shape for every day lost.

For maximum strength (people with experience only) This type of training puts a lot of strain on the muscles, and in most cases 24 hours of recovery are not enough. To get optimal gains in maximum strength, the body needs a complete recovery, so 48 to 72 hours.

Normal activities can gradually be resumed over time until they can be carried out without feeling any pain. Most people are able to do light activities after 1 or 2 weeks. Gentle exercise, such as walking, can help the healing process. Heavy lifting and strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks.

There will be adaptation and it'll be pretty quick. That doesn't mean you'll be lifting your old personal bests after a week or two, but you'll be well along the way. A realistic timeframe, Thompson says, is to be back to normal within about two months. That goes for both strength and cardio.

How long it takes for a sprain or strain to heal. After 2 weeks, most sprains and strains will feel better. Avoid strenuous exercise such as running for up to 8 weeks, as there's a risk of further damage. Severe sprains and strains can take months to get back to normal.

Most people report a “redistribution” of weight within six months, although many report they begin to feel more comfortable within a few weeks. It should be noted that the lean body mass created or repaired makes up essential skeletal muscles for basic movements and not those for athletic performance.

After a prolonged break, I find that it takes between seven and ten days to start feeling normal on the bike again. The first few days will be a struggle but after a week or so you should feel ok to start increasing the training load, and then you're well on the road to recovery.

However, the bone structure and density had not returned to normal and signs of hip strength had not recovered at one year, although it had increased slightly compared to post-flight levels. Researchers say it could take much longer than a year to regain the lost strength.

Typically, I recommend that people take a few days off from exercising every six to eight weeks, assuming you work out at a good intensity and are consistent. This gives both your mind and body a chance to recover and adapt to the previous weeks of training.
