Running Distance Less Healthy

Following the race running, including marathons, is now becoming a trend. But did you know that long distance running turned out to have very little health benefits.Although designed for running, the human body was only able to get the maximum benefit from the run so far a total of 48 kilometers per week of weight loss is quite large.Research has shown that excessive exercise (exercise overdose) actually had little impact on health than middle-distance running.Recent research suggests that extra longevity gained from running a regular basis may be lost if we ran more than 48 kilometers per week.Other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and heart disease will also be reduced by half due to long distance running increases the risk of heart rhythm disturbances and the formation of plaque in the coronary arteries.


"The lesson I took from 40 years of wrestling in the field of cardiology is if too much smoke there is usually fire," said Dr.Paul Thompson, a specialist in sports medicine.Some cases also reinforce the opinions of experts. For example, Normann Stadler, two-time winner of the Ironman Triathlon World Championship, which require surgical aortic aneurysm, a bulge in the aorta so prone to bleeding.The condition was rapidly deteriorating due to allegedly exercise that is too strenuous. Recent studies also show a link between athletic endurance exercise with an enlarged aorta.Another study showed increased levels of plaque in the heart vessels in the former marathon runner. According to Dr. John Mandrola, heart experts, it was triggered by intensive training conducted by marathon runners."Heart disease is formed due to inflammation and if you are constantly and for a long time doing inflammation in yourself, without any opportunity for the body to rest, I wonder if there is a link between heart disease and excessive exercise," said Mandrola.Still other studies have suggested the opposite. Limit to track the number of kilometers which is mentioned only men and women can do in a week.Mandrola, who is also a marathon runner and active cycling, saying that the most important thing is moderation, not doing something to excess.
