“…Eight studies 23,29,[51][52][53][54]56,58 reported the effects of interventions on subsequent levels of PA (see table 3). Two of these studies 29,58 were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with the control groups consisting of PWE not engaging in the PA-based intervention activity.…”

None of the other six studies 23,[51][52][53][54]56 used a control group. The interventions used in four studies 23,51,56,58 required participants to engage in regular PA over the intervention period.…”

“…All of these studies demonstrated improvements in PA across the intervention period 23,51,56,58 . One study utilised a behavioural counselling intervention 29 , one study 52 used an educational intervention and required participants to set individual exercise goals, and epilepsy surgery was considered the intervention in the remaining study 54 . None of these forms of intervention affected subsequent levels of PA.…”

This study aimed to systematically review studies focussing on levels of physical activity (PA) in people with epilepsy (PWE) compared with non-epilepsy controls, and identify factors associated with PA in PWE. Intervention studies were also reviewed to consider the effects of psychological interventions on levels of PA, and the effects of PA-based interventions on seizure activity, psychiatric comorbidity and health related quality of life (HRQoL). PRISMA guidelines were followed. Searches were conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials, PsychINFO and EMBASE. Forty-six studies met inclusion criteria including case-control, cross-sectional and intervention studies. Assessment measures included questionnaires, activity trackers and measures of physiological fitness. Twelve of 22 (54.5%) case-control studies utilising self-report questionnaire measures reported that PWE were performing lower levels of PA, less likely to be engaging in PA or less likely to meet PA guidelines than controls. The remaining studies did not find a difference between PWE and controls. Eight of 12 (67%) case-control studies utilising exercise/fitness tests reported that PWE performed significantly poorer than controls, whilst in two studies PWE performed better than controls. One of three studies investigating the relationship between PA and seizure frequency found that increased self-reported PA was associated with having fewer seizures, whilst two did not find a significant relationship. All seven cross-sectional studies which included measures of HRQoL and depression/anxiety found a positive relationship between levels of PA and HRQoL/reduced levels of depression and anxiety. All four studies that used PA-based interventions demonstrated improvements in levels of PA and increased HRQoL.Study quality was almost universally low. In conclusion, there is some evidence that PWE engage in less PA than peers, and that interventions can improve PA levels and HRQoL.
