Can you still run when you have a cold?
Question 1: I have a cold. Can I run? Before you decide, I'll show you a message: Sun Qi is a senior two student in Chengdu No.7 Middle School. He caught a cold and had a runny nose a few days ago. His father said that catching a cold is a minor problem, so running and sweating will make him better. So I took Sun Qi to run and exercise "therapy". Two days later, Sun Qi's cold symptoms really eased, but people became more and more listless, always calling him flustered, chest tightness and boring. Mother Sun felt that something was wrong, so she took her to the First Affiliated Hospital of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and was diagnosed as "viral myocarditis" after examination.

According to Professor Li, the internal medicine department of this hospital, most common colds are caused by viruses. People often say that a cold can lead to a cold. In fact, a cold is just an inducement. After catching a cold, in order to resist the invading virus or bacteria, the body's defense system will rise and "fight" with the invading enemy, so some people will have symptoms such as fever. At this time, the speed of human metabolism is also accelerating. If you engage in ball games, running and other physical exercises, your body's heat will increase and your metabolism will be more vigorous. Running with a cold will consume too much energy and material, thus weakening the patient's resistance, and the cold virus will take advantage of it and invade the myocardium. Exercise increases the consumption of oxygen in the body, increases the burden of organs such as heart and lung, and easily causes acute myocarditis and cardiopulmonary insufficiency, thus aggravating the condition.

Professor Li said, can you still run when you have a cold in your life? Many people think that they can run without taking medicine when they have a cold. Exercise and sweat will make you better. In fact, it is wrong to treat a cold like this. Exercise and sweating after a cold can really relieve the symptoms of a cold, but this situation is more common in a few people with strong physique, early cold or mild symptoms. For most people, especially children, the infirm and the elderly, it is harmful to take part in physical exercise when you have a cold. In particular, it should be noted that some acute infectious diseases, such as viral hepatitis, have initial symptoms similar to colds, and if they are treated with exercise, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, experts suggest that you should take medicine, rest and drink plenty of water under the guidance of a doctor after catching a cold, and never rely on exercise to "treat".

Some young people play ball games and run after catching a cold. After sweating, the symptoms of cold will really be alleviated. This is because when people are exercising, their sympathetic nerves are excited, their heart beats faster and their breathing is faster. Can you still run when you have a cold? The function of the defense system composed of white blood cells and other antibodies in the body is improved. In addition, when sweating, toxins in the body are excreted faster, which relieves cold symptoms. However, this situation only appears in a few people with strong physique and mild symptoms. For most people, especially children, the infirm and the elderly, it is harmful to take part in physical exercise when you have a cold.

Cold is an acute upper respiratory disease caused by virus or bacteria. In order to resist the invading virus or bacteria, the human body should mobilize the internal defense system to fight against it. At this time, the body temperature rises, the white blood cells increase, the phagocytosis of cells, the production of antibodies and the detoxification function of the liver are enhanced. At the same time, when the transaminase is cold, the metabolism in the body will also accelerate the transaminase to be cold, so as to improve the body's disease resistance. At the same time, people's proper rest is also very important. If you play ball or run after catching a cold, it will further increase the body's heat production and make the metabolism more vigorous, which will inevitably lead to an increase in body temperature, which will lead to abnormal regulation in the body and increase the excitability of the central nervous system. Excessive cold will affect transaminase, and excessive consumption of energy substances in the body, including sugar, fat and protein, will weaken the body's resistance.

When a cold is caused by bacteria, the pathogenic bacteria are mostly hemolytic streptococcus and a few are pneumococcus. If you don't rest and treat in time, it may cause sinusitis and bronchitis, rheumatism and nephritis. When a cold is caused by influenza virus, can you run with serious systemic symptoms? In addition to common cold symptoms, it may further lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and even secondary viral myocarditis.

Therefore, for most people, it is not appropriate to take part in physical exercise when they have a cold, and they should take medicine and rest under the guidance of a doctor. It is better to take part in exercise in a few days after the cold is cured. Please adopt it after understanding!

Question 2: Why can't I run when I have a cold? Cold is a common upper respiratory disease. In order to resist the invading bacteria or viruses, the human body should mobilize the defense system in the body to fight against them, which is manifested in the increase of body temperature within a certain limit, the increase of white blood cells, the phagocytosis of cells, the production of antibodies and the enhancement of the detoxification function of the liver. At the same time, it accelerates metabolism in the body and improves the body's disease resistance. At this time, it is very important to create favorable disease-resistant conditions for the body, and proper rest is a crucial element. If you take strenuous exercise such as playing ball or running after catching a cold, it will further increase your body's heat production and make your metabolism more vigorous, which will inevitably lead to an increase in body temperature, which will lead to abnormal body regulation function, excessively increase the excitability of the central nervous system, consume too much energy substances such as sugar, fat and protein in your body, and weaken your body's resistance. At the same time, due to exercise, the consumption of oxygen is greatly increased, which will also increase the burden on the cardiopulmonary system.

Question 3: Can I exercise if I have a cold? You can do light exercise without sweating. Sweating or something may aggravate the condition, so simply relax and exercise.

Question 4: Can you continue running after catching a cold? Cold is an acute upper respiratory disease caused by virus or bacteria. In order to resist the invading virus or bacteria, the human body should mobilize the internal defense system to fight against it, which is manifested in a certain range of body temperature increase, leukocytosis, antibody production by cells, and enhanced detoxification function of the liver. At the same time, the metabolism in the body is also accelerated, improving the body's disease resistance. At this time, it is very important to create favorable disease-resistant conditions for the body, and proper rest is one of them. When a person has a cold or fever, his heart rate will be accelerated, and his blood circulation will also be accelerated. Every time his temperature rises by 65,438+0 degrees Celsius, his heart beats 65,438+00 to 20 times per minute, and the increase of cardiac output leads to the aggravation of cardiac load. If you do strenuous exercise again, it will further increase the burden on your heart, which may lead to acute cardiac insufficiency in severe cases. If the virus invades the myocardium, it is easy to cause viral myocarditis with very serious consequences. Therefore, even the common symptoms of upper respiratory tract, such as runny nose, sneezing, stuffy nose and other minor cold symptoms, do not do strenuous exercise. In the pathological cycle of a cold, you should take antiviral cold medicines such as crack at the beginning of a cold.

Question 5: Can you still exercise (run or walk) when you have a cold (runny nose)? Pay attention to rest after a cold, have a light diet, drink plenty of water and exercise moderately. Running after a cold is not conducive to recovery. After the human body is attacked by exogenous wind, cold, dampness, summer heat and dry fire, the healthy qi in the body fights against exogenous evil. Only by ensuring rest can the symptoms be relieved quickly.

When it is cold and hot in spring, pay attention to adding and subtracting clothes appropriately. Don't let your body get cold again, and don't wear too many clothes to make your body sweat too much. At night, you can soak your feet with warm boiled water to promote blood circulation and make your body sweat slightly, so as to discharge the damp and cold gas in your body. After catching a cold, you should also eat more foods rich in vc to enhance immunity.

I suggest that you'd better wait until your cold is over before exercising to lose weight, which is more conducive to your recovery.

Question 6: Can I run with a slight cold? Moderate exercise can reduce the number of days when cold symptoms appear by half. However, this does not apply to everyone, but it can be judged by a simple method-the neck rule. If you have cold symptoms above the neck, such as stuffy nose, itchy throat and headache, you can do moderate jogging, brisk walking or strength training. Once you have a fever, chest tightness and limb weakness, you should stop exercising and have a good rest. Need to be reminded that if headache is accompanied by chills and pain all over the body, it may be an early symptom of fever, so don't exercise any more.

People who have a cold start to exercise, and the intensity should be halved. If the cold symptoms are relieved after 5- 10 minutes, the intensity can be gradually increased, but it should not exceed 80%-90% of the usual exercise.

The "neck rule" can be used to test whether you can continue to exercise. However, when exercising, if the symptoms above the neck are serious, you should stop exercising, otherwise it will be counterproductive and make the cold period longer.

It should be pointed out that a large amount of water must be replenished in time during exercise to prevent dehydration. In addition, for healthy people, upper respiratory tract infection is most likely to occur in a few hours after strenuous exercise. So, if you are running for 10 minutes, you'd better have a rest and keep warm. When exercising in the gym, wash your hands in time after using treadmills, barbells and other equipment.

Question 7: Can I run if I have a cold? Running for 30 minutes can exercise, but whether you can run is defined by your neck. If your cold attack is just "above the neck", you can run at will. The symptoms of a cold above the neck are: runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing and sore throat. In this case, running is effective for treating a cold, because the adrenaline produced by exercise will relieve your headache and stuffy nose. On the contrary, if you have the following cold symptoms, including chest tightness, dry cough, nausea, stomach pain, high fever, fatigue and muscle pain, you must never run. When your lungs and throat are infected, running outside will make your condition worse.
