There are pitching, which are ready to refuse in all for the sake of sports. They do not know anything and do not want to know anything except training. They disappear in the hall from morning till evening, forgetting about family and friends. What is it?.

The manifestation of some amazing fanaticism or a particularly strong love for bodybuilding? Unfortunately no. Sports psychologists qualify this condition as the most real disease of the psyche under the complex name "psychological dependence on training". From the side, such a painful infatuation with weights may seem very similar to drug addiction. Just like a drug addict, a sick goose aspires to increase the dose of a daily load. However, if you look at the essence, there is no direct similarity. In the case of bodybuilding and speech there is no such thing as a narcotic potion.

At first, psychologists tried to apply the term "obtrusiveness", borrowed from the practice of neurologists. But he did not come. When the disease "obsessive neurosis," a person's thoughts revolve around the same subject, but this does not affect his behavior in any way. For example, he can for days on end to think hard about the same exercises with weights, but until the hall never comes. But with the psychological dependence on training things are quite different. Disease necessarily involves action. Sick for any treasure will not miss training, even if the world around him is falling apart. But if, for some reason, the march to the hall did not take place, then something like a narcotic break begins to take off. He is tormented by dissatisfaction, lethargy, oppressed state of mind, irritability, and even severe depression. It seems to him that the muscles atrophied, and the musculature lost its shape. If it happens in the summer, then such a rolling intentionally puts on a shirt with long sleeves to hide the "disappeared" muscles ... All these obviously abnormal symptoms and made psychologists think that they have nothing more than a kind of mental disorder.

According to sports experts, unhealthy obsession at the training grows out of a natural, in general, the desire to disconnect from life's problems.

Sometimes the difficulties become too much. They lean on our shoulders, and life turns into unbearable stress. There's something else pitching and waiting for a trap. He goes into the hall and sees that under the influence of pitching the difficulties somehow fade and recede into the background.

The secret is that the exercises cause the body to produce a special hormone - endorphin, very similar in its effect on the well-known morphine.

The action of the hormone does not last long - a few hours, but, as they say, sinks into the soul. And if the roll is not aimed at fighting life's difficulties, internally passes before them, then soon begins to use training as a way to escape from reality. Just like a drug addict, he sits down on a needle ... bodybuilding.

And now imagine that such a rolling is getting injured. What should he do? How to live further? The world is crumbling!.
