Fitness enthusiasts harmful to women

Women seriously keen on fitness and exercise regularly in the hall, put their health and cognitive abilities pass, writes «New Scientist». The fact that the intense exercise reduces levels of the hormone estrogen in women and girls.

This reduction could lead to delays and failures in menstruation cycle in adult women. A low level of estrogen in women who have not yet reached menopause, is associated with impaired mental development in the future.

Mary Tierney of the University of Toronto has made the assumption according to which, it is enhanced training to blame for the violations of cognitive abilities. It is specially interviewed 90 healthy women to analyze their physical activity and exercise habits.

Next, the participants have been tested cognitive abilities. As a result, a significant decline in testing was observed in women who train hard. In this connection, Mary Tierney calls to reconsider the attitude to fitness.
