Beware the risks of Extreme sport

It has been revealed recently that our extreme activities may be damaging our health. We hate to be scare mongers here at Ansell’s but this really is a sure fire warning to insure yourself properly when tackling new extreme pursuits.

Research carried out in Australia found that people taking part in endurance sports such as triathlons and marathons are risking permanent damage to their hearts. The tests studied 40 elite athletes and found that there were signs of stretching of the heart muscle cells and five weeks on there was signs of scarring, suggesting that damage was permanent.

Make sure you consult your doctor when embarking on any new extreme sports and get yourself insured!
