Can Exercise Be Harmful?

"Exercise can replace many medications, but no medicine can not replace exercise" - this statement became the catch phrase. Champions for a healthy lifestyle often repeated it, like an ancient wisdom "in a healthy body - healthy mind" (incidentally, the validity of the latter can still argue: not once in history have met the person, in an imperfect body which lived a genius, a progressive and a healthy mind in contrast to the spirituality of some burly). But it does not mean that.

Propaganda about the benefits of sport and physical culture has become so familiar to us that we have stopped noticing it. But some specialists (doctors, teachers, psychologists) it inspired on the radically opposite study. After the hard work they have conclusively answered the question: "Is it always useful exercise?"

Thus, the professionals say that sport during the cold is not recommended. Any disease itself is a significant burden on the body. Therefore, the additional load in the form of physical exercise more frequently do harm than good.

For a number of diseases need a special type and character of the movement, developed with the help of special techniques. Therefore, for general physical exercise set some contraindications. These include:
- Acute infectious diseases;
- All in an active form of the disease;
- Chronic disease exacerbation;
- Mental illness;
- Organic diseases of the central nervous system;
- Malignant neoplasms;
- Diseases of the musculoskeletal system with an abrupt dysfunction of joints and severe pain;
- Bronchial asthma with frequent, difficult to treat seizures;
- Cardio-vascular system.
In diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, diseases of the endocrine glands in each case to the conclusion of the treating physician.
As stated by Dr. N. Mokhnach, a more detailed list of contraindications (as well as the recommended types of physical activity) can be found in the regulations of Ministry of Health and medical references.

And yet you can not completely ignore the movement. It makes no sense to deny that the state of the body is greatly influenced by the level of general locomotor activity of man. This concept includes all kinds of movements, committed person per night: work at their summer cottage and household chores, sports training and ordinary walking around the house with excitement or boredom. Some Russian and Japanese scientists believe that a healthy adult man should do in the day at least 10-15 thousand steps.

Institute of Physical Education offers the following weekly rates of physical activity: - for preschoolers - 21-28 hours - for students - 14-21 hours - for students in specialized secondary schools and university students - 10-14 hours - for people of working age - 6-10 hours. Strange, but for pensioners for some reason, these recommendations do not say anything. Apparently, the scientists gave the palm of their wisdom: retired - each his own research institute.

But seriously, in any case, exercise and sports or not, decides the man himself. And often doubts about the benefits of physical activity are dictated not only care about their body, but are driven by psychological base: people subconsciously do not want to deal with. So maybe it makes sense to overcome yourself?
