Health professionals attribute this surge to several factors, including the rising intensity of modern workout regimes, undiagnosed underlying health conditions, and inadequate precautionary measures.

 

The incident has sparked discussions about the importance of health screenings before engaging in strenuous physical activity.

 

Experts emphasise the need for gyms to implement better safety protocols and for individuals to be more aware of their health status.
