The body must use resources to supply the muscles and repair the micro-damage caused by training. The priority now shifts away from defending against pathogens. Consequently, the immune system remains weakened, delaying the healing process. In some cases, this can even lead to worsening infections or the development of additional complications.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazyLoad\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1279\u002F853;\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.idmanify.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fblogs\u002Fimages\u002F4128ba34-0358-4906-b863-20cc53053551.webp\" width=\"1279\" height=\"853\" alt=\"stretching\">\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>When Should One Avoid Exercise?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a general rule: those with a fever or feeling extremely fatigued should definitely refrain from exercise.
