Our class discussion about the video of the professor talking about how regular exercise isn't always the healthiest choice got me thinking about the risk factors that exercise can cause. Majority of individuals know that exercise causes stress on the body or joints especially when doing intense exercises. Yet I found that if someone is poorly trained, dehydrated, already stressed with prior injuries, or under recovered many capabilities can become problematic such as serious injury to the body or hospitalization from dehydration. Also I found that while increasing the amount of exercise one does there is a increase in cardiac complication such as a heart attack or heart rhythm disorder yet this is a very low chance. To lower the chances of this happening one should be properly trained as well as know their own risk factors. For example older individuals are at higher risk and anyone who has been diagnosed with any cardiac condition, diabetes, high blood pressure etc. should consult a physician before intense exercise. Overall from all the research I did majority of the time exercise greatly benefits the body but everything comes with risk factors and it all depends on other factors such as age, current health, training status as well as many other factors.
