How healthy/athletic are extremely overweight, yet also super physically active people such as sumo wrestlers or strongmen? Does the physical exercise compensate for the extra weight?
In: Other
Very unhealthy, generally. Sumo wrestlers live about 20 years less than their peers.
All that physical exercise puts a strain on the body and the extra weight makes it way worse. Exercise is healthy up to a point (and that point is way, way beyond what anyone casually hits), but more isn’t always better.
