The expert spoke about the dangers of bodybuilding for the heart

Professional sports such as bodybuilding can be harmful to heart health. About this on August 21, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by the head of the Department of Sports Medicine and Medical Rehabilitation, Director of the Sechenov University Medical Rehabilitation Clinic, Professor Evgeny Achkasov.

According to the expert, an increase in muscle volume affects the heart load.

"In people with large muscle volume, the heart may not be able to cope. There is a discrepancy between the volume of muscles and the capabilities of the heart," Achkasov explained.

Therefore, the doctor recommended to engage in amateur sports aimed at preventing diseases. To do this, the specialist recommended that you undergo an examination and set an acceptable load limit so as not to overdo it and not harm yourself.
