Hyderabad: Teenagers and middle-aged men are frequent victims of intense workouts, where a wrong form of an exercise do them in, leading to back injuries, muscle pull and even kidney damage.
In women, it works out in a different way. They have to stay put with exhaustion and pain in the uterus.
Dr Rama Krishna, a senior physiotherapist, said, “Professional body-builders can cope with this as their fitness levels are high. However, that does not mean that they do not suffer injuries. But they do not allow it to stretch beyond certain level. A normal person, however, does not take the signals seriously and this leads to a problematic situation.”
Experts noted that exercise burns calories more efficiently and increases the metabolism for hours. As obesity has become a major challenge, moderate exercises will help people stay fit. Maintaining the body weight can also reduce heart diseases, diabetes and other chronic illness.
Complete blood profile, liver and renal function tests, ECG and 2D echo, Vitamin D3 and ferritin blood test and chest X-ray are advisable for persons who opt of high-intensity exercises.
