Intense exercise 1 month post op

[Prof101]

I used to sprint 1 mile 2-3 times a week, plus lift some weights (high intensity low rep) 

When would it be safe for me to go back to that? Since by now the grafts are definitely fully anchored, do I have to worry about anything?

So far I have been just walking daily as exercise

 

Thanks

I remember reading somewhere that if you had FUT it could be problematic.

Full physical activity can be resumed 1 week after procedure assuming that recovery period has gone well with no complications. Grafts are fully secure by that time and are safe. Just treat your head well and take good care to keep it clean and healthy.

Longest period to abstain from hard training I've seen is a month. If you are past that mark, it's all good, go crazy

I resumed my weight lifting regime a month post-op with no issues whatsoever.

If it's FUE then a week to ten days should be fine. FUT I would consult with the doctor and personally I would give it three months due to the risk of stretching the strip scar. All the best!

I don't know anyone who can sprint for one mile, including myself who was an ex elite athlete. Apart from that, you're good to exercise intensely by now if it was FUE
