Injury illness and disease caused by exercise

Being cautious. It's not sexy. For some reason, many people lie to fit in and look good in an attempt to feel better about themselves. However, accepting who we are might serve us better in the long run. A touch of caution and being true to ourselves will help us avoid the worst that can happen while training.

Start small and build. Again, lacks that appeal. All or nothing sound better. Go hard or go home... yeah, maybe when your levels are peaking because intense workout sessions are causing injuries, illnesses and revealing underlining diseases. Specifically, there has been a massive take-up of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) everywhere exercise resides, online and out there in the real world.

It's not hard to see why with all the benefits on display, although, great benefits come with greater risks such as muscle or joint damage. Some people dive into HIIT without sufficient guidance or knowledge. And if you follow online you will lack individual correction a good coach provides, plus often a warm-up, stretching, and cool down.

It seems there is an overall lack of focus on condition or technique in these classes which can lead to damage much worse than pulling a muscle. For instance, those that are unfit, overweight, and/or eating badly, could be at risk of a heart attack or stroke. Underneath their skin, they could be damaged. Without knowing and simply following the trend fed by promises of weight loss and improved body shape in a less time, could lead to a life-changing episode.

Indeed, there's a risk if you have an underlining illness. A risk if you are not focusing on your form and ability. Also, there is a risk of high-intensity induced sickness if you push your unconditioned body to the max. You can damage your muscle fibres in a way that effectively kills them. They release their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to kidney damage.

Researchers are finding more cases of the condition known as rhabdomyolysis in A&E departments. The patients are turning up after HIIT sessions with complaints of dark red or brown urine, decreased urination or muscle pain or weakness.

Therefore, a little prudence will help prevent the perils of HIIT while allowing you to obtain the benefits. So if you desire HIIT then it is a good session to add to your routine, but do not smash it twice a day or even daily sessions are probably not needed to reach your goals. Instead, enjoy some variety.
