A member asked:
Is it ok if i stopped sports for a week? do the musceles weaken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Weakness of muscles due to stopping physical activity takes several months . You can become deconditioned very quickly with muscle loss when hospitalized or fighting of physical illness that requires bed rest. A few weeks off does not affect you and it is important for your body to rest.
