Sport can be very beneficial for our physical and mental health but in some cases it is sport itself that can pose a threat to health or even life. For people with certain diseases and health problems excessive or uncontrolled physical exercises are not recommended.
Among others, these are:
- excessive obesity
- cardiovascular diseases
- respiratory system diseases
- hypertension
- diabetes
- spine problems
- hypothyroidism
In the above cases, physical exercises should be individually adjusted and supervised.
It is strongly recommended for everyone wishing to commence regular physical exercise, to have a lab assessment that would show the state of health. Regular laboratory blood tests are also a good way of monitoring ones health while training.
