Absolutely! But I think it has more to do with chronic overuse and chronic, excessive forces applied to joints. Long-distance runners (joggers, marathoners, and beyond) deal with lots of injuries, most of which develop due to repetitive stress on joints and systemically, chronically high cortisol production. We're designed for high-intensity, brief bursts of work.I once knew a gal that was over exercising on a step machine and ended up with physical injuries. I over did it doing free weight squats and ended up with quad tendinitis in one knee and rotator cuff tendinitis doing a different exercise.
I am now so much older so don’t overdo anything except maybe watching Netflix. LOL
As for weights: I am an advocate of heavy and slow, one set to failure, one to two times per week per movement.
