The value of therapeutic physical culture

Life is constantly accelerating its rhythm. Therefore, people have to make a considerable number of movements to complete all the necessary things. Almost every person daily walks a lot, runs, drives a car, and does many other activities. Scientists have proven that people who regularly exercise therapy are three times less likely to suffer from cardiovascular pathologies.

Supporters of a healthy lifestyle live longer, which cannot be said about those who do not strive to maintain their bodies in good physical shape. Physical inactivity is the leading cause of many diseases, including diabetes, osteoporosis, and obesity. Low physical activity negatively affects the state of the immune system, reducing the protective barrier. Therefore, people who lead such a life are more susceptible to infections and negative external influences.

General exercise therapy is used to improve the whole body, and particular exercise therapy aims to enhance individual organs and systems. Physical exercises in physiotherapy exercises are divided into three groups: gymnastic, sports-applied, and game. All activities are divided into dynamic and static.
