This statement is not entirely correct.
In the past, it was generally believed that athletes were synonymous with "health", but in fact, this statement was overthrown by one fact after another. Athletes are usually overloaded with training, body organs, bones, muscles and so on. Definitely more than ordinary people.
In addition, due to the particularity of sports competitions and improper measures for the protection and development of athletes in China (many athletes have almost no way out after retirement), some athletes have a great psychological burden.
Under the double blow of body and mind, the life span is short.
However, if you are broad-minded, constantly enrich yourself and pay attention to protecting yourself during training, you should not be short-lived.
