If regular exercise strengthens bones and muscles, why do elite athletes in high-impact sports (like soccer or football) often develop osteoarthritis earlier than the general population?
It comes down to repetitive microtrauma. While moderate weight-bearing exercise is healthy, the extreme intensity and frequent injuries (like ACL tears) in pro sports can accelerate the wear and tear of cartilage.

How does High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) change the physical structure of the heart differently than long-distance "steady-state" cardio?
HIIT is particularly effective at increasing stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped per beat) and improving the compliance of the left ventricle. This makes the heart more "elastic" and efficient at handling sudden bursts of energy.

Why do elite athletes often experience the same rates of anxiety and depression as the general public, despite the mood-boosting endorphins released during exercise?

In official competitive dodgeball, what happens if a player attempts to block an incoming ball with a ball they are already holding, but they drop their own ball during the process?

Why is "active recovery" (like a light walk or yoga) often considered more effective for muscle health than "passive recovery" (complete rest or sitting) after a grueling game?
Light movement maintains blood flow to the muscles. This helps flush out metabolic waste products (like lactic acid) and delivers fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tiny muscle fibers, speeding up the repair process.

How do the nutritional needs of a marathon runner differ from a general fitness enthusiast when it comes to "carbohydrate loading"?
For most people, a balanced diet is enough. However, endurance athletes need to maximize glycogen stores. They may consume 7–12g of carbs per kilogram of body weight in the 24 hours before a race—a level of intake that would be excessive for someone just doing a standard 30-minute gym session.
