undertraining

Not enough workouts

Undertraining is insufficient preparation or practice for a task, especially athletic competition.

An undertrained runner risks injury or poor performance.

In machine learning, undertraining occurs when a model hasn't learned enough from its data to make accurate predictions: The model was undertrained and couldn't recognize basic patterns.
