How to combine poor health and physical activity?

For those with any health issues, exercise is just as important as for those in normal health. To reconcile poor health and exercise, it's important to consider certain characteristics of how these symptoms develop. For example, many diseases that affect health can be caused by genetic developmental factors, acquired illnesses throughout life, age-related factors associated with aging, and the body's endurance and energy levels.

Physicians who provide rehabilitation physical therapy to patients at rehabilitation centers recommend not ignoring physical activity when conditions complicate exercise, but rather adapting exercise technique to the patient's current health status. For example:

Spinal curvature (scoliosis) that develops over time can interfere with the proper performance of certain exercises. However, the skeletal muscles that hold the spine in an abnormal position require a certain level of load to prevent further worsening of the spinal curvature.
Vision impairment (myopia) due to circulatory insufficiency in the visual system, coupled with repetitive visual stress, requires physical exercise to improve vision rather than reduce the strain. In such cases, the type of visual stimulation and the duration of such stimulation are varied.

In case of poor health, it is necessary to combine therapeutic physical training exercises with general physical activity, but to dose both, observing the principles of using physical activity in poor health.

Contraindications for physical activity in poor health include:

All types of diseases in the acute stage;
Severe forms of mental illness;
Convulsions, paralysis;
Heart attack, stroke and severe ischemic heart disease;
Severe forms of kidney or liver disease;
Severe circulatory failure;
Any manifestations of thrombophlebitis or bleeding;
Severe pain symptoms in the musculoskeletal system;
Eye diseases such as Glaucoma;
Severe bronchial asthma.

In other cases, for all types of poor health, temporary restrictions on physical activity are recommended, as are prohibitions on certain types of exercise during drug therapy. Under the supervision of a physician and with their permission, feasible physical activity may be used for the current poor health condition. It is important to remember that no rehabilitation program is complete without physical exercise, which is individually selected and tailored to the specific level and signs of poor health.
