He gave up strenuous sports due to health reasons.
Does the combination of "due to" and "reasons" result in redundancy?
Thanks
In your sentence, “due to” means “because of”
“health” an be an adjective for reason, or a noun
Adjective, as in : due to medical, financial, health reasons...
Or used as a noun: due to health. due to death. due to sickness.
It is redundant. Take the word health out and it makes no sense. Take reasons out and its just fine.

Is the above what you mean?
It doesn't make sense.
