Moderate exercise is beneficial against chronic diseases

Moderate exercise is beneficial against chronic diseases

In the early nineteenth century, patients were instructed to rest when an acute or chronic illness was diagnosed. It was taken for granted that physical effort would steal energy that would be destined for healing, leading to death or even disability.

With the advent of ergometers, observational and prospective studies, science shows that standing still is good only for Who is lazy. The industrial revolution and the modernities that arrived with it, pushed civilization to the sedentarismo while science began to show that the greatest ally of all the proposed treatments, clinical, surgical, medicated or not, are the programmed exercises. caution, cardiac rehabilitation programs for transplant patients and infarcts began to come into practice with medical supervision and a physical educator specifically trained for the function. These programs were extended and adapted to other patients such as osteoporotic, of chronic kidney disease on dialysis, immunocompromised patients with HIV, diabetics, hypertensives, and obese people, among others.

As the studies showed the benefits achieved, questions remained unanswered: what is the weekly volume of training? The current guidelines and positioning point to how efficient the exercises in moderate intensity, for a prolonged time, repeated 3 to 4 times a week for the chronic diseases that have in the physical activity a treatment adjunct. These statements are based on numerous published studies that prove efficiency.

Like the human body, science should not remain static and the scientist always open to new hypotheses. And, let's say, the "ball of the time" are interval training. Interval training has been applied in patients with type 2 diabetes, cardiac rehabilitation and some neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. These are high-intensity exercises for a short time, around 1 minute, followed by active recovery. It allows the total session time to be less and the weekly volume remains.

The results of recent searches are promising. They have shown that it has become easier to control diabetes, regression of obesity and cardiac rehabilitation, and reduce Parkinsonian tremors.

For any physical activity, for any individual, excesses should be avoided. When working at high intensity, the risks increase not only from the underlying disease, but also from the appearance of those due to exaggerated practice.

It should be remembered that these patients may present sarcopenia, loss of muscle mass due to age and chronic diseases, which exposes them to tendinitis, sinovites, bursitis, among others, resulting from excesses without adequate recovery.

Patients of moderate severity who can perform work without direct supervision belong to the studies. It is my understanding that even these should be supervised, even greater care with the more serious ones. This state of affairs requires an accurate medical evaluation, preferably by a specialist in sports medicine, to indicate the limits to the exercise.

In my opinion, interval training for the chronically ill is a path that will be part of the prescriptions in the future and will have its place with accurate indication. At the moment, more studies of scientific quality are needed, with more patients and longer observation time, so that this practice becomes a safe precept to be followed.
