What are the symptoms of excessive exercise?

Exercise can make people healthy and prolong their life, so everyone feels that the more exercise one does, the healthier one will be. However, no one knows that the more exercise one does is not necessarily the better. Excessive exercise will damage the body's immune function, thus affecting one's health. In severe cases, it may even cause people to suffer from unexpected diseases. But how do we know if we are exercising too much during normal times? Here I will introduce to you the manifestations of excessive exercise.

(1) Subjective feeling:

The subjective feeling during exercise is closely related to many factors such as workload, cardiac function, oxygen consumption, and accumulation of metabolic products. Therefore, the self-feeling during exercise has a certain objectivity in judging sports fatigue.

(2) Objective indicators

1. Skeletal muscle indicators

① Muscle strength. The most obvious feature of exercise-induced muscle fatigue is a decrease in muscle strength, which is usually based on absolute muscle strength. If muscle strength decreases significantly after exercise and cannot recover in time, it can be regarded as fatigue. During the test, the exercise muscle strength should be tested in a targeted manner according to different forms of exercise.

② Muscle hardness: When muscles are fatigued, their contraction function decreases and their relaxation ability also decreases. When muscles are fatigued, they cannot fully relax and their hardness increases.

③ Electromyography: Electromyography is the change in electric potential generated when muscles are excited, and can also reflect the degree of muscle excitement and contraction. The changes in electromyography during exercise can determine the functional state of the nervous system and skeletal muscles. Electromyography can also reflect whether muscles are fatigued.

(3) Fatigue is not a bad signal. Some acute fatigue symptoms such as sweating, weakness in the waist and knees, and muscle pain are not considered excessive exercise if they can be recovered during the next exercise. On the contrary, it is called excessive exercise. People should choose a variety of sports. Don't limit yourself to one or two sports you like, expand your sports repertoire and cultivate a diverse interest in sports. Doing different sports every week can not only exercise your body in all aspects, but also avoid strain caused by a single sport.

Now everyone should have some understanding of the symptoms of excessive exercise, so those friends who love sports should not forget the time when exercising. They should also stop and rest while exercising. Exercise is a good thing for the body. Don't let a good thing turn into a bad thing. I wish you all good health and happiness every day.
