Q: Four weeks ago I had a mild case of bronchitis and now I have a slight cold, runny nose and headaches, when is it safe to return to gym?
A: Professor Tim Noakes replies > Consult a respiratory physician to determine whether your condition is due to allergy. If so, you are likely to recover only once the allergy is treated.
Our usual advice is that if your symptoms are all above the level of your neck, then you can continue to exercise, but gently. If you also have symptoms below your neck, then don’t.
