Some diseases can be panic-inducing: we are afraid to move, lest we hurt ourselves even more. There are practically no diseases that completely exclude sports from life – moving is still better than doing nothing.
When is it possible to exercise, but with restrictions?

If you have a cold.
Even with sore throat and especially with high temperature, you should not train: the body is busy fighting viruses and infection. Take a break for a couple of days, so that he rested.
