There is a tendency for long distance runner to push the body to a high level of training without recognizing the danger signals. The benefits of running are at the cost of inner organs. The heart and lungs are irritated. The abdominal organs are disturbed by constant movement, which causes the cramping of the circulatory flow. Due to age factors the endurance capacity of the athletes cannot be retained for long time.
