A recent study sponsored by the American College of Sports medicine indicates that exercising moderately while you have a common cold doesn't affect the severity or duration of the symptoms.It is a widely accepted notion that exercising and keeping in shape will reduce the risk of getting sick, but nothing has been previously documented to demonstrate whether working out while suffering from a cold would reduce or intensify the symptoms.
SYMPTOMS TO EXERCISE GUIDELINES
1. If you have a runny nose, sneezing or scratchy throat, only the it is safe to exercise at low intensity levels.
2. If you have fever, dry cough, sore muscles, vomiting, diarrhea: exercise not recommended, resume more intense physical activity when cold, or infection is gone.
