Are all of them addicts? Probably not. Highly talented people will experience some beautiful, exciting and sometimes dangerous things, which ordinary people will never be able to do.

Sport addicts share many symptoms with other sorts of addicts. They harm their bodies: this is because they do not give them the chance of recovering from working out. Sport becomes so much an obsession that such people don’t take time to recover from injuries. Incidence of heart attacks and osteoporosis increase at high levels of exertion, so sports addicts can put themselves at serious risk.

Sports addiction sounds paradoxical, because we usually reserve the word ‘addiction’ for things that are bad for us. Sports addiction is, however, real, non-metaphorical, and harmful.

These effects, like those produced by illicit drugs and alcohol, can be habit-forming.
