What happens if you exercise too much?

Exercise is a healthy lifestyle. The human body needs exercise to become healthier. Exercise is also an important way to prolong life. However, the more exercise you do does not necessarily mean better for your health. If you exercise too much, your immune system will be affected, which will cause harm to your body. So, what happens if you exercise too much? How to exercise in the healthiest way?

Excessive exercise may cause neurosis, reduce your reaction ability, sense of balance and muscle elasticity. Although not exercising is not good, at least the human body maintains a stable state. However, excessive exercise disrupts the body's own harmony and causes greater harm than not exercising. People are not very clear about the concept of excessive exercise, and many people mistakenly believe that fatigue is excessive exercise. Exercise itself is an activity that produces fatigue. Through the process of producing fatigue and recovering from fatigue, it exercises the human body, strengthens muscle strength and the coordination of various organs, and slows down the aging of the body with age.

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.

From a professional perspective, excessive exercise can have two consequences: one is overtraining in competitive sports, and the other is excessive fatigue in general sports. This type of fatigue is generally chronic, and the accumulation of fatigue from each exercise without full recovery causes the human body to experience various discomfort symptoms. Common knee joint strain and chronic strain of the back muscles are the result of local excessive fatigue. In this case, you need to change your exercise method. For example, people who often play basketball can reduce the number of times they play and insert other sports to replace a single sport.

Be careful if you experience decreased reaction ability, reduced sense of balance, reduced muscle elasticity after exercise, feel dizzy and nauseous as soon as you arrive at the sports venue, have poor appetite and sleep, are depressed, irritable, constipated, have diarrhea, and are prone to colds. This is most likely due to overall fatigue. When the body is overly fatigued, the central nervous system is damaged and the whole body begins to show abnormalities. The most typical example is the neurosis with the above-mentioned manifestations. At this time, you should stop exercising and seek medical attention.

In order to avoid excessive fatigue caused by excessive exercise, people should exercise gradually and within their ability. For example, they should exercise 2-3 times a week, rest for two or three days after each exercise, and choose sports according to their personal age and physical condition. If you suddenly start exercising after not exercising for ten days or half a month, you may easily over-exercise and become overly tired.

The above is an introduction to what will happen if you exercise too much. Excessive exercise will generally have adverse effects on body functions and may even leave sequelae to the body. Therefore, you must exercise appropriately and in moderation, and you can choose a variety of exercises to avoid strain on your body caused by a single exercise. Diversified exercise also provides comprehensive exercise for the body.
