Hello,
Mastrubation won't cause decreased physical strength or weakness. Excessive mastrubation may can cause edema of glans and in few people may cause work interruption. Don't worry. Low physical strength may be due to nutrition insufficiency or malnutrition. Eat plenty of protein and green leafy vegetables.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
