#16 Training vs. Infections: What You Need to Know?

The weather is getting colder as autumn sets in and the risk of catching a cold increases. We take a closer look at why most of us catch more illnesses in the autumn and winter, as well as the most common causes of infections.

We also discuss the connection between exercise and the risk of getting sick. Does exercise help or is it just a myth? And is there a difference in how much and how hard you exercise?

Research into exercise and infections, also known as exercise immunology, shows that there are several risk factors that can increase your risk of getting infected. We offer our perspective on this and review whether it is wise to exercise when you are sick. Finally, we give good advice on how to avoid getting sick, even if you exercise a lot.
