Sarcoidosis and exercise is not out of the question.
Although many sarcoidisis sufferers are overcome with
tiredness, a regular programme of exercise aimed at increasing metabolism can
work wonders in defeating fatigue. As stamina and endurance is improved, work
capabilities and resistance to fatigue will likewise increase.
Watch and listen to the expert’s view on sarcoidosis and
exercise:
There you have it, sarcoidosis and exercise is recommended
by the professionals.
What to do next? The following may help.
1. As with most exercise regimes, the most success will
come from exercise activities that are enjoyed, such as dancing, walking and
swimming. Whichever activity is chosen, start slowly and gradually improve
stamina. Try to exercise for 20 minutes, three times a week, and steadily raise
the physical activity level to 30 minutes, four to six times a week.
2. Always warm up before starting to exercise, stretch the
muscles and get the heart pumping. When finished, gradually slow down the heart
rate and re-stretch the muscles.
3. Aerobic exercises, such as walking, dancing and
swimming are perfect activities to improve breathing capacity and also good for
the heart. This regular cardiovascular workout will help to prevent heart
disease and can greatly assist recovery from sarcoidosis. As the body becomes
healthier and stronger, the symptoms of sarcoidosis become easier to manage.
4. Once the aerobic activities have improved breathing,
the next step could be strength training activities, which help muscle groups
to become stronger. In order to build strength, weightlifting and exercise
machines will be needed, so it may be best to consult a professional trainer
for expert advice.
5. It is important to stay hydrated both during and after
any physical activity, be properly attired for the activity, and try not to do
too much, too soon.
6. Above all, check with your doctor before beginning any
exercise regime.
