The Athlete Dilemma Of Training Or Recovering When Sick
When athletes inevitably get sick, they are faced with a common dilemma. Should they train through the cold, or rest and recover? There is actually quite a bit of debate between exercise science professionals on what the best approach is to this issue. As a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Tactical Strength & Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F), athletes will often ask me for advice on this issue. Because this is such a common question, I wanted to provide a high quality resource from Precision Nutrition on this topic. Check out the infographic below to learn more on what strategies to implement when you are sick. Enjoy!
Note To Reader:
If you are an athlete reading this segment of the TRAINING REPORT, hopefully this content was helpful! I put the Training Report together because I felt like many of the discussions on issues such as the Yips/mental blocks, strength training & other subject matter on athlete performance concepts were really missing the mark on these ideas (e.g. how trauma is the direct cause of the Yips). If you are interested in learning more, make sure to subscribe below for when I put out new content on issues related to sport psychology & athlete performance!
