5. Suppressed Immunity
After very intense workouts, the immune system can be temporarily weakened (“open window” hypothesis), increasing susceptibility to infections.
3. Cardiac Stress
In rare cases, intense endurance training (e.g., ultramarathons) has been linked to:
Atrial fibrillation
Heart scarring
Sudden cardiac events in genetically predisposed individuals1. Overtraining Syndrome (OTS)
Chronic excessive exercise without adequate rest can lead to fatigue, hormonal imbalance, poor immunity, and injury.
Symptoms include depression, poor performance, insomnia, and increased risk of illness.
10. Time Trade-Off
Obsessive focus on exercise can displace time from sleep, relationships, work, or more restorative activities (like meditation or creativity).
13. Cultural Obsession with Productivity
The pressure to be constantly optimizing health and performance can turn even leisure activity like exercise into a form of labor.
