Hi all, I recently donated blood for the first time and I was curious about experience with how my performance could change few days/weeks following the donation. The doctor suggested about 2 days complete rest and light activity for around 7 days. If anyone has an experience, how was your performance after the donation? I assume it influences mostly aerobic capacity due to lower level of red blood cells, but power exercises should not be influenced so much. Thanks!
