Answer:
Hypersecretion of growth hormone is caused by a disease called acromegaly. The most common symptoms of acromegaly include enlargement of the face and hand, joint pains, heart failure and hypertension.
Explanation:
Acromegaly is a chronic disease in adults that results from the hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary gland. Generally, acromegaly is caused by excessive production of GH due to a benign tumor (i.e., due to a pituitary adenoma). The mean age of diagnosis for acromegaly is 40 years in males and 45 years in females. Clinical symptoms of acromegaly include enlargement of the hands and feet, heart failure, respiratory problems, hypertension, joint pains, diabetes mellitus, vision problems, headaches, etc.

Actually, this has been happening for hundreds, if not thousands of years! Distribution of magazines and books have put forth what one must attain. I've attached a picture of a corset ad from circa 1850.
In ancient cultures, like Sparta, being physically active and fit was necessary to fit into society, especially for men (which grew up to be strong, noble soldiers). A huge emphasis on being the greatest was placed on everyone.
But, being attractive and being fit are two different things. Having an active lifestyle can improve your life in countless ways, from improving your mood to lowering your risk of obtaining certain diseases.
