Nordic walking.
Nordic walking has a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system and at the same time burns enough calories – from 350 to 450 calories per hour. In this sport, the right equipment is very important, especially the length of special poles. The specialist understands this best, so you need to contact him for advice. The intensity of training will depend on the terrain, weather and the chosen step. Beginners should pay attention to comfortable shoes and learn the right technique. Exercise significantly improves balance, endurance and reduces anxiety.
Swimming.
For swimming to be useful, you need to learn the right technique. If you swim incorrectly, the cervical spine will be overloaded, and swimming will only do harm. If you have weak legs, this sport can help make them stronger.
The body experiences severe stress if you swim fast and burn up to 700 calories per hour. Therefore, it is important to remember that swimming fatigue occurs later than in other sports. With multiple sclerosis, it is important to choose the right pace of training.
Water aerobics.
Water aerobics can be practiced during the rehabilitation of people of any age. There are contraindications only for people with skin problems and allergies to chlorine. Strength and endurance are well trained in water. Thanks to music, it is easy to relieve stress, have a good time, and at the same time, get a lot of health benefits.
Yoga classes.
This is a safe and very effective practice. Beginners should remember that you should not try to do all the asanas as quickly as possible. First you need to master the technique of breathing, learn to sit properly with a straight back and mentally relax tense muscles. Only when a person learns to harmoniously combine breathing, posture and movement, you can expect results. Yoga is included in the recovery program for multiple sclerosis patients, along with physical therapy, swimming, psychotherapy and a vegetarian diet.
After six months of regular yoga, fatigue disappears, patients become more flexible, fine motor skills improve.
Your health will improve within minutes of a properly structured session. The poses are adapted to the state of health and can be easily corrected by an experienced teacher.
Pilates and stretching.
These exercises train large muscle groups, relieve fatigue and improve balance. The training scheme will be individual in each case and will depend on the course of the disease and the severity of symptoms. The coach must have experience working with people with multiple sclerosis. Exercises should be performed without significant effort and excessive stress.
Cycling.
This sport can be practiced if there are no complaints of propensity to court, and if coordination is good. In any case, you can practice on a stationary bike. Such exercises improve the function of walking.
Finding the perfect sport for people with multiple sclerosis is very difficult because the disease affects everyone differently. It depends on the type of disease and its features. Listen to your body and analyze its reaction.
And remember that physical activity in combination with treatment with effective drugs (for example, Pacifen or Tizan) can significantly improve your health.
