An exercise is an activity that requires physical or mental exertion, especially when performed to develop or maintain fitness. Fitness may be described as a condition that helps us look and feel good and do our best. Human efficiency and productivity are dependent on one’s health and fitness and presently, health and fitness through physical activity are attaining popularity via exercises. Work-outs at gymnasiums highlight the changed lifestyle among youngsters, as a means of looking good, and among older ones for keeping fit and healthy. Since health is a form of homeostasis, balancing inputs and outputs of energy and matter in equilibrium, it implies good prospects for continued survival. However there is a cause for concern from exercise-induced DNA damage where the probable involvement of oxidatively damaged DNA may trigger cancer development and also since an association between oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA and age-related degenerative diseases has been observed. The present study entailed informational inputs from personnel engaged in strenuous physical activity, either to promote a state of well being or to be aesthetically better or for performance in a sport event. The consequences of such intensive activity are discussed in the terms of genetic health
