Physiotherapy in anemia

[whackysaurabh]

Hello,
i'm working on ways to find out if physiotherapy/ physical exercise would have any effect on anemia patients?
Major problems faced by all urban and rural areas are due to anemia. It's rampant, and preventive measures are available but awareness is poor.
Is it possible to design a simple protocol with iron+folic acid tabs+ exercise prescription in order to improve the condition?

Would like to know your views on this one. Thank you

hi
ur post sounds interestg...
what i understand is - prolonged exercise is dangerous while the person is anaemic(i mean the aerobic/cardio workouts)as the iron storage is less ;causing shortness of breath.So should opt for short burst execises (eg.bench press,leg press..).But as u think really need a proven exercise prescription for the same! U know,its a great research topic. I will try to get back to u with an apt answer..
