While regular physical activity is one of the most important prerequisites for heart health, experts emphasize that more is not always better. Increasingly, cardiologists encounter patients who, in their efforts to improve physical fitness, make mistakes that can put unnecessary strain on the heart and even raise health risks.

Specialists warn that intense training, if not properly dosed, can harm the heart. Questions arise: how to distinguish healthy exercise from overexertion? And what is the most common mistake made by both beginners and experienced athletes?

The cardiologist stresses that to avoid negative consequences, it is important to listen to one's body and not exceed individual limits. Abruptly increasing exercise intensity or ignoring warning signals can lead to serious heart problems.
