On the occasion of the International Sports Week, the Ministry of Health publishes the benefits of sports and physical activity that may rehabilitate all kinds of illnesses
???? Physical activity is a real medicine! Not only for self-image and mind, but also for a variety of medical conditions, in which sports and physical activity can be used as a tool for rehabilitation:
????????Stroke: After a stroke, training and physical activity can help motor function, balance and general mobility. A structured exercise program can also help reduce the risk of another stroke
????????Spinal cord injury: Training and physical activity can help maintain strength and flexibility after a spinal cord injury and can help prevent secondary health problems and allow a return to independent function. If the injury caused a disability, exercise will help strengthen the muscles that were not injured and thus facilitate mobility
❤️ Heart diseases and diabetes: physical activity is an integral part of dealing with these diseases and their rehabilitation when necessary
????Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Exercise is an important part of pulmonary rehabilitation for people with COPD. Physical activity can improve lung function, reduce shortness of breath and improve overall quality of life
????????????Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Regular physical activity can help improve mobility, balance and general function for people with MS, thus preserving independence. Exercise can also help manage symptoms such as fatigue and depression
????????Parkinson: during physical activity, dopamine is released, the same hormone that is in decline in Parkinson’s patients and because of this most of the symptoms are caused, therefore physical activity can help improve motor function and balance for people with Parkinson’s disease
????????Joint replacement surgery: After joint replacement surgery (such as knee or hip replacement), exercise can help improve range of motion, reduce pain, improve general function and lead to faster rehabilitation and a return to an active life
????Cancer: physical activity can help reduce fatigue and may improve treatment results and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence
