Chronic diseases affect more than 25 million people in France. The growing number of people affected by long-term illnesses is a real public health problem as of today. Adaptive sport is a precious solution for both the prevention and the cure process. The objective here is to gauge the impact of sport practice on the evolution of a chronic disease.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sport practice is an acknowledged solution to mitigate the impact of chronic diseases<\/h2>\n

Overview of the effectiveness of sport practice<\/h3>\n

The positive impact of sport practice on chronic diseases<\/strong> was acknowledged by the INSERM (National Institute for Health and Medical Research) and by many other institutions such as the Haute Autorit\u00e9 de Sant\u00e9 (High authority on Health). The practice of a physical activity mitigates complications, but it also improves the ill\u2019s living conditions.<\/p>\n

The recommendations from the Haute Autorit\u00e9 de Sant\u00e9<\/h3>\n

For the HAS, adaptive physical activity<\/strong> must be part of the curing process of people affected by a chronic disease. Practising a sport that is adapted<\/strong> to your disease allows to optimise the benefits. Moreover, this also prevents the illness from worsening as well as potential complications.<\/p>\n

Health focused sport then becomes a strategic asset to the mitigation of the effects of chronic diseases. Here are a few examples.<\/p>\n

Sport and chronic diseases: what are the benefits?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sport, diabetes, and obesity<\/h3>\n

Sport practice allows people suffering from diabetes to improve their receptiveness to insulin. Even if sport practice does not replace medication, it contributes to a better control of glycaemia levels. Sport practice balances sugar concentration in the blood which leads to a reduced dependency to medication.<\/p>\n

Physical activity also remains an interesting option in the context of obesity. It helps improving muscular mass while mitigating fat gain. It also helps reducing waist size<\/strong> which is an essential help in the fight against chronic diseases.<\/p>\n

Waist size constitutes indeed a clear separation between body fat and the accumulation of abdominal fat. Yet we know that the presence of visceral fat creates risks for the person to suffer from cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes, etc.<\/p>\n

Physical activity and its assets on the mitigation of cardiovascular or respiratory diseases<\/p>\n

For the Haute Autorit\u00e9 de Sant\u00e9, practising a sport also improves breathing and cardiac functions. It is used in this case to prevent the disease or when the disease is already here.<\/p>\n

Here a few possible cases:<\/p>\n
