Is it advisible to weight train with a viral infection? also can you loose muscle mass from having a viral infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: You are unlikely to lose any muscle mass from a viral infection unless it produces severe muscle inflammation. Your exercise pattern should be modulated to the extent necessary so that you do not exhaust yourself and prolong the illness. Be careful, be sensible. A few days off exercise will not change your body appearance significantly.
