Cut down, cut back
I know that these phrases are usually used in terms of food (cut down on eating sugar), but I would like to know if I can use them when speaking about an activity.
For instance:
“I had to cut down on my football trainings due to my back problems.”
Perhaps there is a better alternative.
Thank you.

I would use "cut back" in both contexts. cut back on sugar; cut back on training Ann225 trainings There's no word like that even though a lot of students of English believe it's OK. We use 'training sessions' or 'training courses' in most contexts if we need the plural.
