Epilepsy is the most common chronic neurological disorder in the world that influences negatively the quality of people's life affected by this disease. Although the favorable effect of physical activity on general health is unquestionable, the appropriate physical exercise for people with epilepsy is still controversial. Studies have shown beneficial effect of physical exercise on frequency of seizures as well as on life quality. However, people with epilepsy frequently are discouraged and excluded from participation in physical exercise due to the fear that the participation in a physical exercise program can precipitate epileptic seizures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review the effect of physical exercise based on clinical and experimental studies of epilepsy.Downloads
