In the illustration belowâ¦. (1) The iron hammer on its own has no kinetic energy, but it has some potential energy (because of its weight). (2) To drive a nail into the piece of wood (which is work), he has to lift the iron hammer up, (this increases its potential energy because if its high position).
Now, exercise is highly recommended for people with epilepsy, for starters because it helps to reduce stress levels, which can sometimes trigger seizures. In fact, physical activity has been shown to decrease seizure frequency, as well as lead to improved cardiovascular and psychological health in people with epilepsy.
A seizure is a sudden change in the brain's normal electrical activity. During a seizure, brain cells fire uncontrollably at up to four times their normal rate, temporarily affecting the way a person behaves, moves, thinks or feels. There are two major types of seizures: 1  Primary generalized seizures â The seizure affects the entire cerebral cortex, the outer portion of the brain that contains the majority of brain cells. 2  Partial (focal) seizure â The abnormal firing of brain cells begins in one region of the brain and remains in that one region.
