Brief Summary:
Epilepsy is a chronic neurologic disorder characterized by seizures Beside seizures people suffering from epilepsy experience several challenges related to education work and everyday life such as learning- problem-solving- memory- concentration- attention difficulties and fatigue
It is generally approved that physical activity PA has a positive effect on physical as well as mental factors However people with epilepsy are found to be less active and PA is rarely offered or recommended as supplement to anti-epileptic medical treatment Few studies have investigated the effect of PA in subjects with epilepsy and additional studies of high methodical quality are needed to enable evidence-based information and counselling
This study is carried through as a randomized controlled trial which investigates the effect of participation in a 10-week cardio exercise program in people with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy aged 15-50
The study hypothesis is that participation in a 10-week cardio exercise program will induce a positive change in cognitive function concentration and attention and possibly in brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF In addition it is expected that the intensity and duration of the 10-week cardio exercise program is sufficient to cause changes in physiological parameters related to a reduced risk of lifestyle diseases
