What are the dangers of exercising too much to the body?

Overtraining refers to the overuse of muscles and tendon tissues during exercise, which is overtraining in a short period of time. Exercising too much can cause a lot of harm to the body, the more common ones are:

1.If you don't exercise for a long time, you may suddenly exercise too much, which may cause joint strain and pain in the joints.

2.Long-term excessive exercise may increase the body's production of free radicals, which not only fails to achieve the positive purpose of fitness, but also accelerates aging.

3.Excessive exercise can also lead to a decrease in the body's immune function, making the body more susceptible to viruses and developing pneumonia, colds, etc.

4.Wrong over-exercising methods can also cause gastrointestinal disorders, leading to indigestion and loss of appetite. It may also cause patients to have chronic headaches, dizziness, insomnia and other phenomena.

The direct hazards of excessive exercise are injuries to the locomotor system, such as muscle strain, abdominal muscle strain, ligament strain, knee cartilage wear, meniscus wear, ligament tear, muscle fatigue injury, etc. There are also some indirect such as organ strain, such as insufficient blood supply to the heart can easily cause heart failure, and even induce the onset of myocarditis, and some patients with cardiac insufficiency will even have cardiogenic shock. Excessive exercise sweating and insufficient hydration will cause prostration, shock, if each long-term exercise, and long-term excessive exercise nutrition can not keep up, there will be serious malnutrition, increasingly emaciated, and even decreased resistance to induce immune system diseases. Therefore, you must exercise moderately according to your physique, supplement enough nutrition and rest enough after exercise, which is a reasonable and scientific exercise to ensure a healthy body.

**Although exercise is a universally accepted way to strengthen the body, rushing or exerting too much intensity not only fails to achieve the fitness goal, but can actually cause harm to the body. In this regard, German experts advise:

Exercise should not be excessive, as excessive exercise is harmful. Henning Almo, a professor at a sports psychology institute in Cologne, Germany, said in an interview with the German news agency dpa, that he has studied running for many years and found that improper running methods can do more harm than good to people's bodies. Some people who are new to running tend to run too fast; Some people who have been playing the sport for a longer period of time will overtrain.

Neither of these scenarios is advisable. Professor Almo also warns that excessive exercise can lead to too much lactic acid in the body, which can make the body too acidic, resulting in an acid-base imbalance. Almo believes that people who do running should master the rhythm and pay attention to the tension and relaxation.

A better rhythm is when the person exercising can still breathe freely and be able to talk to the person who is training with him. In addition, he believes that it is necessary to be vigilant against muscle spasms and increased pulse during exercise.

Excessive exercise can bring harm to the body such as dehydration, increased heart burden, muscle pain, etc.

1. Dehydration. Excessive exercise accelerates the burning of body fat, causing the body to sweat profusely, causing the body to lose water, resulting in dehydration, and the body's blood circulation will also accelerate, resulting in telangiectasia and body redness. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, generally does not require special treatment, rest after exercise, timely replenishment of water will recover on its own.

2. Increase the burden on the heart.

Excessive exercise will increase the burden on the heart, cause rapid heartbeat, cause myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, chest tightness and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it is easy to have excessive blood supply insufficiency, causing syncope. When exercising, patients should do what they can, and if they feel uncomfortable, they should rest in time to avoid aggravating the burden on the heart, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart and affecting the health of the body. Patients are advised to do a moderate amount of physical activity and stop immediately if they feel unwell.

3. Muscle pain.

Excessive exercise can easily make the accumulation of lactic acid in the body unable to be discharged, resulting in muscle fatigue, pain, limited activity and other consequences. At this time, the muscles can be relaxed through physical **, such as acupuncture or massage, so as to achieve a good effect of relieving soreness. Pay attention to the correct sitting and sleeping posture, avoid maintaining a tense muscle state for long periods of time, and avoid excessive exercise.

Increased risk of fascial and muscle damage Long-term excessive exercise and lack of attention to rest may lead to excessive fatigue and strain of the fascia and muscles.

The harm of excessive exercise is mainly manifested in the following points: 1. Cause dehydration of the body. Excessive exercise causes the body to sweat profusely, which causes the body to continuously lose water, leading to dehydration.

2. Increase the burden on the heart. When exercising a lot, it will cause rapid heartbeat, causing chest tightness, palpitation, chest pain, and even cardiac arrest and sudden death. 3. Aggravate joint wear and tear and induce joint diseases.

A lot of exercise can damage joints, especially knees and ankles. Fourth, it causes physical fatigue. Excessive exercise can cause fatigue, affect sleep, and fail to exercise effectively.

The appropriate amount of exercise generally varies from person to person.

Muscle strain, joint injury, body dehydration, increased burden on the heart, etc., it is recommended to usually exercise in small amounts and moderate amounts, to avoid long-term load and excessive exercise, so as not to cause improper damage and impact on physical health, remember to be sure to replenish water in time after exercise, so as not to hypoglycemia.

There are also people who walk thousands of kilometers and tens of thousands of steps every day and hurt their knees, and regret it.

Some people have shown through surveys that the general longevity of the elderly do not exercise, and they all like to sit and chat. Then some people think that staying at home and sleeping every day, lying on the sofa, swiping the screen, and watching TV are both comfortable and conducive to health, so why not.

In fact, too much exercise or no exercise is an extreme practice, and it affects health. Long-term inactivity will lead to stagnation of qi and organs, as well as insufficient qi and blood biochemistry, qi and blood deficiency and even visceral disorders. The body's organs and tissues will decline, the ability to resist diseases will also be weakened, modern scientific research has also confirmed that people who regularly engage in aerobic exercise, low level of exercise have higher immunity than people who usually do not exercise.

But also do not exercise excessively, long-term intense exercise will make the human body's metabolism in a vigorous state, but will accelerate the friction and aging of organs and tissues in the body, there has been a health study of more than 5,000 athletes found that many of them have heart disease around the age of 50, most of them are not as long as ordinary people.

Therefore, you should choose a health regimen that suits you according to your actual situation. Combination of movement and static. You can't blindly follow the trend and backfire.
