Abstract
Physical exercise and sports in healthy people are very important factors for physical and mental health; however, in patients with epilepsy, there are still questions for the beginning or continuity of their practice, becoming restricted in most cases. Therefore, it is necessary to have more information about the type of seizures, treatment, control and evolution of each patient, as well as the physical exercise and sports options that they can practice. The implementation of recommendations for the different cases of seizures/epilepsy and their association with physical exercise/sports is of great importance for the permissions or restrictions depend on each patient.
