Healing Fitness

Physical exercise has a healing effect on the human body. This was known back in Ancient Greece, where doctors considered therapeutic exercises an important element of medicine. Nowadays, physical therapy is given great importance in the complex treatment of various diseases, including the intestines.

One of the basic principles of therapeutic physical culture is the use of training the body through physical exercise. There are two types of training: general and specific. General training has a general strengthening effect on the body, stimulating the functions of the main systems: breathing, blood circulation, metabolic processes. Special training is aimed at restoring impaired functions.

The Arndt-Schultz Law emphasizes the importance of exercise dosage. The same irritant can have different effects on the body depending on the dosage. Weak stimuli excite life processes, moderate ones enhance them, strong ones inhibit them, and very strong ones can even paralyze.

Research has shown that the nature of muscle activity affects various functions of the digestive system. For example, intense and prolonged muscle load inhibits intestinal motility, while moderate and short-term exercise enhances it. The effect of physical exercise also affects the absorption mechanism of nutrients in the small intestine. Improves absorption by low-intensity, short-term exercise, which is performed 1-2 hours after a meal or 1-2 hours before a meal. The process of absorption in the small intestine deteriorates from intense, prolonged exercise performed immediately before meals.

Therapeutic physical culture allows you to effectively use the body's capabilities for the prevention and treatment of diseases. It is important to remember that physical activity should be dosed and combined with other treatment methods. Doctors and exercise specialists can help select the optimal set of exercises for each patient, depending on their condition and treatment goals.
