Aye there supposed to be fit as f**k me im living on borrowed time

Its the harsh reality of the level of fitness required these days by players.......long periods of peak fitness is not necessarily a healthy state to be in.......folk say players today are wimps with the injuries they get and how players were tougher back in the good old days.......as we know with our dogs,when they are peaked out they can become quite a delicate little athlete prone to muscle pulls,tears and injuries...........................it can be amazing the protection a little bit of bodyfat can give........but like anything if we want ultimate performance then ultimate fitness is required.

Terrible news about the fella anyway.

A few hours in the gym.Two or three time a week dose most of us no harm.

I got to thinking about this when I head about it on the radio, I wonder if more footballers are following a new drug regime perhaps something along the lines the cyclists use or perhaps blood doping, EPO ??

So maintaining less than about 4% body fat is healthy is it?

i was 27 and had a heart attack was nothing to do with fitness i had a infection round my heart called myopericarditous, the muscles round your heart inflame and stop your heart from working properly, put the fear of god up me, i never smoked hardly drank and my fitness was of good, can happen to anyone.

Think they call it sudden death syndrome.

Thing is a dodgy heart can lay undected for years. And then one day, bang lights out. Always said when it's my time I hope it's the same way was my old man. Massive heart attack and dead before he hit the ground

my best mate died of sudden heart failier...found him on the bog stone dead! we were told that most massive heart attack victims are found like it, heart problems were comon in his family though.
