fandacious Posted August 20, 2007 Share I've been up and down with flu/cold/sinusitis since before the knysna race. Its REALLY starting to annoy me now. Currently i'm on anti biotics to clear up the sinusitis. Whats the general consensus with regard to training while on anti biotics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeMax Posted August 20, 2007 Share They do affect performance - and also reduce immune efficiency in my experience. Take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polkie Posted August 20, 2007 Share the Docs normally say give it a week, ie after the anti-biotics are finished take a week before any form of exercise is re-started..... has got something to do with you immune system being a bit out of sync....

Canaris Posted August 21, 2007 Share do not train above 60% for any reason when on antibiotics. Take it easy. very easy. Set training alarms ext. Do not do train. Your heart will explode if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted August 21, 2007 Share don't train, give a week after you think you feel better, damaging your heart is just not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Two Posted August 21, 2007 Share As frustrating as it may be - get into bed and stay there !! Seriously - no work, no training - nothing !! Just vegetate. Do this and by next Monday - you will be a raging bull again - your body needs a time out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandacious Posted August 21, 2007 Share How would I damage my heart? I dont have flu - just a bacterial infection in my sinus - hence the anti-biotics. Do anti biotics put strain on the heart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1hill@aTime Posted August 21, 2007 Share i think that's a question you should be asking your doc. but why take a chance if it's only a week off the bike.1hill@aTime2007-08-21 01:44:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty Posted August 21, 2007 Share Exercising helps sinus ! As long as the infection hasn't got to your chest or lungs and you don't over do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
