Excessice exercise is when your body starts coming down with lot infections, viruses etc. Your immune system is weakened by excessive exercise.
..usually experienced by those who overtrain as in marathon runners who compete in too many events etc.I've even read that may this can cause cancer in later life. Probably not PROVED..Mercola had something on this http://www.mercola.com/blog/2005/jun/21/you_can_exercise_too_much
Basically if it hurts to much for too long its your body saying this level is not good for you..hence the pain:) ..IMHO only
I think some people get such a kick from the highs they get addicted, but if you start coming down too easily with everything its time to back off a little.
A simplified link with cortisol, I suspect, would be, that exercise presumably increases adrenaline/noradrelaline?
I think cortisol is consumed in bringing these back to normal levels. (if needed more up to a point your body will release more free cortisol from that bound with Cortisol Binding Globulin..but only up to the point it HAS it in bound form)
Too much exercise consumes too much cortisol.. hence your immune system (which cortisol HELPS) weakens.
Stress is similar toe exercise in the way it consumes cortisol by raising the norarenaline /adrenaline ..and the way that this can caused increased cortisol at the start or lowere levels, but concume all the cortisol and lead to the body getting sick at higher levels over longer periods of time.
OK if I got this wrong please correct me..constructive critism of ideas most welcome as always.
