As on warfarin u should avoid injuries... many sports requiring strenuous activity will likely ti have trauma ...so usually asked to avoid strenous sport activities...but keeping healthy lifestyle will help u more energetic....second thing if Ur heart rate not well controlled doctor can increase medication so u will feel better...
