In some countries, people of all age groups engage in too many sports or over-exercising. Are there more advantages or disadvantages of this trend?

Masses of various ages have been seen overly indulging in a wide number of

sports

and exercises.

Although

they may help in improving general health status, excessive participation in these may cause many exercise-related

injuries

and decreased time available to interact with family, and so I believe that the demerits of

this

trend significantly overshadow the merits.

To begin

with, the major advantage of excessive exercising is that it improves fitness status in general. It helps in maintaining

body

weight, thereby reducing the risk of obesity-related health hazards;

for example

, not only the

body

mass indices of professional runners fall in the healthy range, but they are

also

very agile with excellent energy levels.

Therefore

, if the benefits of excessive

sports

and workouts are considered, weight management and improving overall health top the list.

However

, I believe that the drawbacks to engaging in athletics and exercise outweigh the advantages.

Such

activities may not only result in numerous exertion-related tissue and muscle

injuries

,

but even give rise to stress fractures.

For instance

, people aspiring to win bodybuilding contests end up working out excessively and causing multiple strain

injuries

to one part of their

body

or the other.

Moreover

, these individuals are so much captivated by these activities, that they spend all their leisure time working out and playing different

sports

, leaving little or no time to spare for their families. As a consequence, domestic conflicts start taking place;

hence

, it is for the physical

injuries

and familial disputes, that overexercising and excessive engagement in

sports

has been rendered to be detrimental. In conclusion, these activities help in keeping

body

weight within optimum limits. What regards them to be disadvantageous

then

? The aforementioned demerits of extreme workouts are of crucial value and enormously supersede the advantages.
