About the research
Playing sports with an allergy? Just ask Remco Evenepoel - that's no fun. But before you reach for your allergy medication, you might want to think twice.
🚴🏽♂️ Research at UGent already showed that some allergy medications can reduce your performance on the bike.
🏋🏻♀️ In her doctorate, Alexia Van de Loock examined what that medication does to strength training. And what did it turn out? You build as much muscle mass as without medication ... but you gain, on average, half a kilo of fat.
