The thought was that due to the increased amount of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) produced as a byproduct of aerobic exercise. These reactive oxygen molecules were floating around oxidizing and damaging tissues. Oxygen is a highly reactive chemical and for most forms of primitive life, is very toxic.

    Because these athletes bodies was producing chronically high levels of these free radicals, they were at a similar or in some studies even, at a higher risk than sedintary adults at developing heart disease.

    I am curious where did you read about Oxidative stress in the article? I read the whole article and couldn't find any indication of oxidative stress and only one mention of word stress at all when referring to heart rate.

    It wasn’t, it’s just a controversial theory in the exercise phys scientific literature as a proposed mechanism for why extreme endurance athletes drop dead early.

    Doctors in general are ANTI IGF. Anything that raises IGF is evil to them. They focus on the incurable items like cancer as the focus of life. Anything to avoid the cancer has to be good right.

    Ask Bolo Yeung how much high IGF impacted him as an elite bodybuilder and later life living. He is still kicking and living a good life.

    Everyone in the world has to have something that makes them relevant. Clucking about Oxidative Stress gets research students money from groups that benefit from treatment surrounding Oxadative Stress. We are back to Big Pharma...any questions?
