Cause #4: Exercise
Exercise is an activity performed to maintain health, fitness, and well-being, prevent aging, increase growth and development, help with weight loss, and improve athletic skills, among others. Too much exercise can be harmful as it causes damage to the muscles and other connective tissues.
It is recommended that those new to exercise should start gradually and increase their exercise with time. If performed excessively, exercise can lead to musculoskeletal pain such as rib pain. The recommended amount of exercise per week for adults is 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise.
