• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

My relative argues that athletes live shorter lives because they have used up more heart beats

*sigh* finally got around to reading the thread. I had a boss at Defence named Troy who espoused this bullshit. He was only two years older than me and never exercised at all. I brought in a blood pressure monitor and apart from the fact his blood pressure was absolute shit, his resting heart rate was 72 beats per minute, whereas mine was 46.

So I broke out the calculator. He was 26 beats per minute higher than mine 26 x 60 = 1560 beats per hour more. 1560 x 24 hours is 37,440 beats PER DAY more than the guy who works out.

That's 13,665,600 beats per year more than mine.

To reiterate, your relative is an absolute moron with no critical thinking skills.

I think you're right, but to be fair, you also have to calculate your higher heart rate during and immediately after exercise.

I still think you'll end up being right, but by a little less than 13,665,600

Ok, but if you double or triple my heart rate for one hour a day of exercise, you still end up with a massively lower number.

I actually did work it out at the time but couldn't be bothered putting that info in. Back then I was doing 2 x weights and 2 x HIIT cardio per week, so that was only four times a week.

Rather than 13.6 million, it was more like 9-10 million less beats but the number was still ludicrously high.

his family did not say that, if they did show me, Thomas hearns said that and he I believe he retracted it because that kind of talk just makes idiots go nuts. Even if his family did say that, they might not even be in the know. I've heard his wife had some bad relations with family and she's not saying shit. It's just conspiracy bs.

As far as the heartbeats, I don't know if it's true or not but I do recall looking up stats on long distance runners and their lifespans and they pretty much were not much different or better than anyone else's.

As far as athletes, like I said, it depends on the sport and any sport can have druggies and alkies or people who eat crap and die young anyways so that doesn't always tell you either. I think football players have pretty short lives and you have to think about just the wear and tear they put their bodies through, all athletes and it makes sense that they might have some health issues. Any sort of extreme is going to have it's consequences and that includes exercise, it can be unhealthy.

I saw the comments from his family so I also know ppl who died from these shots so it’s not rocket science wheather his family retracted the statements or not .

The rest you wrote I won’t bother with ,if you think a person will run out of heart beats and die is nonsense so I’m not going to entertain this silly topic . You are literally trying to to compare other examples physically and mixed them up with a made up arguments and it’s retarded .

This is just dumb bc the initial debate is heart beats that will lead to death when it runs out which you said is believable and that bat shit crazy …
 
If I remember correctly your heart muscle cells under normal circumstances very rarely divide, if at all, during adulthood. I do however believe extreme environments can expedite telomere shorten to eventual cellular decay. ie athletes doing extreme diets, dehydration cuts and especially PEDS abuse

For the average person it's quite the opposite. They are probably overweight and need exercise as they age due to their increasingly sedentary lifestyle.
 
This sounds like some sort of shit an Athenian philosopher would have said in ancient times.

There is no hard cap on the human lifespan and I think we actually stop aging in late 80s(in a cellular sense) but at that point you are too fragile for that to matter.

Nothing drains our lifeforce more than garbage we are putting in our system. Sporty activity itself means you are using your lifeforce for the body, which is good for the health and strenght and lifeforce is wearing out in natural way and a little quicker than doing nothing and is for the good cause, the consequances are actually good, it's not a waste. When we eat garbage, PEDs and other negativites, impurities, unnecessary quantites of food, semen ejaculations... that is the real draining of the lifeforce and very difficult sport activity is nothing compared to that. Cleansing the toxins and negativity is far more demanding.

It's common sense that sport is good. The garbage we put in our body afterwards is what is really draining our lifeforce quickly. We do sport, we feel good and then we go eat some food and it takes that good feeling of sport away. Sport is a virtue, garbage is a bad habit, heart beats will be at it's peak for cleansing that garbage.

his family made no comments that i'm aware of, I think I asked you for some evidence, if I didn't, I want to see. You're probably confusing Tommy Hearns' statement which started the whole bs in the first place and he isn't family, he's a rival. I pretty much dismiss the conspiracists like i said, and you seem to have the same sentiment for me, which is fine. As you were then.
