High physical activity can not protect people from diseases of the cardiovascular system, say researchers at the University of British Columbia.

The authors of the work report: “The results of the experiments that have already been carried out helped us conduct our analysis, which was confirmed by these guesses. High intensity loads do not just protect the body from diseases of the heart and blood vessels, but also cause a premature death. ”.

In the previous experiments, about 8,000 athletes took part, the analysis of these studies helped to conclude that every eighth respondent had problems with the cardiovascular system. Also, some volunteers were diagnosed with severe heart disease.. For example, asymptomatic dysfunction of the coronary artery.

Scientists conclude: "There is an opinion that sport hardens a person and protects against diseases of the heart and blood vessels, but this truth is not always true. In other words, everything should be in moderation, including physical exertion, which in some situations can lead to various diseases. ”.
