Effects of Excessive Muscles

Effects of Excessive Muscles

In general, excessive muscles in sports may potentially have negative effects on performance and health. Below, we will explain the reasons in detail. Firstly, excessive muscles lead to weight gain. This may reduce agility and speed, potentially causing a decline in performance such as explosive power and speed. Additionally, excessive muscles may increase oxygen consumption, making one more prone to fatigue during long periods of exercise. Furthermore, excessive muscles may increase the load on the body, making one more prone to injury. For instance, weight gain may put more pressure on the knees and ankles, increasing the burden on the joints and making them more susceptible to injury. Moreover, imbalanced muscle development may put uneven strain on muscles and joints, leading to an increased risk of injury. From the above, it is apparent that excessive muscles may have negative effects on performance and health in sports. To avoid this, it is crucial to engage in appropriate strength training and build necessary muscles. Additionally, a balanced diet and sufficient rest are also essential.
