Purpose: Although clinical and experimental studies have extensively evidenced the positive effect of physical exercise on epilepsy, these benefits in children and adolescents with epilepsy have been less investigated. We explored the published literature evaluating the impact of long-term exercise programmes on seizure frequency and quality of life in children/adolescents with epilepsy.Methods: A scoping review of the literature was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidance with suitable search terms. A comprehensive search of PubMed, PEDro, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and SPORTDiscus with Full Text (EBSCO) was performed from March to April 2023. A methodological quality assessment was completed for the included studies. The included studies were analysed qualitatively to identify key themes and provide a narrative description of the evidence by two reviewers. Results: Of 1,316 papers screened, 13 studies were selected for full reading. Only six studies evaluated the seizure frequency and quality of life in children and adolescents with epilepsy after a long-term exercise programme. Two studies observed positive findings in seizure frequency and three in quality of life. No study was classified with strong methodological quality. Three studies presented good quality 78-61%, one study presented adequate quality 57%, and two studies presented poor methodological quality (39% and 43%). Conclusions: Our review highlights a limited number of investigations evaluating the long-term effect of exercise in children and adolescents with epilepsy. Longitudinal investigations with good methodological quality may be performed to examine the effectiveness of exercise in this population. (AU) | |
