“…Patients with frequent seizures should be guided toward activities in which loss of consciousness or bodily control is not life-threatening. Athletes with known seizure disorders have not been reported to exhibit a higher incidence of seizures in comparison with their baseline frequencies when they play contact sports (Shehzad, Iqbal, Shehzad, & Lee, 2012;Vancini, Andrade, Vancini-Campanharo, & de Lira, 2017).…”

Physical Activity, Ketogenic Diet, and Epilepsy: A Mini-Review

One-third of patients with epilepsy do not respond to antiepileptic drugs and may seek complementary and alternative treatment modalities. Dietary therapies, such as the ketogenic diet (KD), the modified Atkins diet, as well as the medium-chain triglyceride and the low glycaemic index diets, have been successfully implemented with some forms of epilepsy and are growing in utilization. The KD is a high-fat, low-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that has been used for various conditions for over a century. Insights into the mechanism of action of these diets may provide more targeted interventions for patients with epilepsy. Knowledge of these mechanisms is growing and includes neuroprotective effects on oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, potassium channels in the brain, and mitochondrial function. In this review, we explain the role of physical exercise and the ketogenic diet on epilepsy.

“…De hecho, evidencia científica indica que el ejercicio y el deporte deben fomentarse para todas las personas con epilepsia, incluidos los niños y los adolescentes. Estudios anteriores han demostrado los efectos positivos del ejercicio como la baja de la frecuencia de las crisis, la mejora del estado cardiovascular y la ampliación de la calidad de vida, la autoestima y el bienestar (Vancini, et al 2017).…”

En el siguiente artículo de revisión bibliográfica, se discuten los efectos beneficiosos que tiene la actividad física para las personas con epilepsia. Para algunos autores de las investigaciones estudiadas; el beneficio de estas actividades físicas puede ser muy positivo frente a las contraindicaciones para practicarlo. Es así que la investigación realiza un estudio sobre el efecto de la misma en la epilepsia siendo esta un trastorno cerebral que se caracteriza por la aparición de crisis epilépticas. Todo esto permitirá evitar la desinformación y toma de decisiones equivocadas en toda la sociedad y más aún el circulo social que gira alrededor del paciente. Además, se infiere que la actividad física es un punto fundamental para mantener el cuerpo y mente activos; la misma que no permite que otras enfermedades desestabilicen o ataquen al paciente.

Moreover, we aimed to describe design characteristics (e.g., type of exercise, duration, and intensity) and the effectiveness of these interventions.…”

The aim of this study was to review the literature about the effect of physical activity intervention in children and adolescents with epilepsy. Articles were searched in the central electronic databases of MEDLINE, Embase, PsycAriticles, and CINAHL for the following keywords: “epilepsy,” “seizure,” “physical activity,” “physical exercise,” “exercise therapy,” “sport,” using the Boolean operator “AND” and “OR.” The quality of the selected articles was evaluated by the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. Out of the 22 articles selected, 18 did not involve intervention or did not have pre- and postresults and therefore were excluded from the study. The remaining four were studies from Canada and Korea which comprised two long-period interventions and were included in the analysis. Both programs demonstrated a positive effect of physical activity on variables related to psychological well-being and cognitive function. All the four articles demonstrated a lower score of quality. In conclusion, reviewed studies suggest that physical exercise program induces some benefits in children and adolescents with epilepsy. However, the noncontrolled trials and the varied analyses (quantitative vs. qualitative) make it difficult to establish a consensus about benefits of physical activity in epilepsy.
