TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Reduction in seizure frequency with a high-intensity fitness program (CrossFit): A case report JO - Epilepsy and behavior reports A1 - van der Kop, Mia Liisa A1 - Ekstrom, Anna Mia A1 - Arida, Ricardo Mario SP - e100354 EP - e100354 VL - 13 IS - N2 - 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 a high-intensity exercise program. Psychological benefits of exhaustive exercise included decreased suicide ideation, in part mediated by fewer seizures.
