Abstract

Sports are very important to young people, and the physical and psychological benefits of athletic activities are well known. A majority of epileptic children are able to participate in sports and physical education and have to be encouraged to take part in these activities. The risks involved are minimal, and only few sports and exercises have to be avoided. A well documented danger of drowning exists while swimming, and proper supervision is mandatory.
