Reduction in seizure frequency with a high-intensity fitness program (CrossFit): A case report

Reduction in seizure frequency with a high-intensity fitness program (CrossFit): A case report

Few studies have reported the impact of intensive exercise on seizure susceptibility. Here, we present a case in which a patient developed drug-resistant focal epilepsy after craniotomy for a low-grade glioma. She had a marked reduction in seizure frequency after switching from moderate exercise to...
