Vid halsont eller feber brukar man säga att man inte bör träna. Med det sagt så finns det egentligen väldigt lite forskning på området och rekommendationerna är mest baserade på "det säkra före det osäkra" principen.
Recommendations
Given all of the above potential detrimental effects, it has seemed logical to some authors that exercising/training for sport during an acute infection would impart fewer fitness gains than when working out while healthy;18 however, there are no studies to confirm this supposition. Although unstudied, an intuitive “neck check” approach is attractive.
• If the athlete has symptoms limited to locations above the neck, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sore throat, then he or she can probably continue to exercise at a “reduced” level of intensity. The athlete may try a 10-min test period of exercise. If the athlete feels better or symptoms do not worsen, then he or she may work out at a submaximal intensity with a gradual to full intensity over a few days.
• If the athlete has symptoms below the neck, such as chest congestion, hacking cough, vomiting, diarrhea, or lymphadenopathy, or if the athlete has systemic symptoms such as fever or myalgias, then abstinence from exercise (particularly intense exercise) is recommended.
