“…A study in 212 adults, albeit with known refractory focal epilepsy, failed to provide support for the hypothesis that cognitive exertion has an adverse effect on seizure control. 16 Recent research in established epilepsy has found that the protective factor of mental stimulation is cancelled out by a prolonged duration of an activity with multifactorial sensory input. 17 Further studies in chronic epilepsy suggest that thinking activity and action programming 18 as well as intensive neuropsychological testing 19 can be provocative for both seizure and epileptiform discharge occurrence.…”

De fato, vários estudos investigaram os hábitos de atividade física e social de pessoas com epilepsia por meio de questionários e/ou estudos clínicos (21,(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49). A conclusão principal de alguns desses estudos é que a ausência da prática de atividade física por essas pessoas tem relação com as condições de facilidade e acesso ao treinamento físico, os problemas de transporte e deslocamento, a redução da energia pelos efeitos colaterais das DAEs, o medo das crises e de seus possíveis danos e a ausência de profissionais qualificados (41,43,45,47,50).…”
