The Impact of Excessive Cardiovascular Training on Mortality

After experiencing a dip in performance for the past five years, the speaker explains how they had a change of heart six years ago. They had switched from swimming to cycling as their main sport but became aware of the risks of excessive cardiovascular training. As exercise intensity increases, mortality rate decreases until a certain point, after which it starts to increase again, especially for individuals over 40 years old.

Resilience plays a role, as someone in their 20s doing the same activities doesn't seem to be impacted.
