“However, sports must both be easy to do and fun in each BBTT-compliant session. Most importantly, healthy sports must be performed according to the ‘J’ curve in the following graph, which explains the relationship between the body’s immunity and the intensity of exercise. Doing sports with excessive intensity will actually reduce your immunity and have bad effects on your health in the long term,” dr. Michael said.

Sports intensity is divided into the following ranges: very light (50-60%), helps with recovery when ill; light (60- 70%), improves basic endurance and fat burning; moderate (70-80%), improves aerobic fitness; hard (80-90%) increases maximum performance capacity for shorter sessions; maximum (90-100%), helps fit athletes develop speed. “So please maintain a constant moderate level of exercise, as it has the biggest benefit level with the lowest risk of injury. Exercise is medicine, exercise is pleasure. Let exercise be your stress reliever,” dr. Michael said.
