Pugsley · Answer 1

The tennis player exhibits primary exercise dependency.

Explanation:

Working out for such a long period may lead to consequences that will show after a few years. It will lead to a compulsive engagement in the routine over few years of she continues to do so. For the coming years, this will lead her to a state of dependence on the routinely excessive practice.

Regular exercise will then seem a very mere thing for the individual. She might also have a withdrawal system when she will not be able to exercise. It is thus advised to practice a little less or in intervals. The routine which she follows has psychological effects on her brain.
