I’ve been coping with flu for a week now, much better but not 100% just a bit of cough and runny nose. I’ve read that it’s better to avoid activities and sports that make more use of your body. I’m boxing which can be demanding even if you are healthy. Other than infecting others and tiring yourself more easily, what are some reasons to avoid sports when you are not completely recovered?
In: Biology
When you’re sick, your body is busy fighting off the flu. If you do hard activities like sports, your body has to work even harder. This could make you stay sick longer because your body can’t focus all its energy on getting better.
