Absences: Epilepsy and sports: what is possible - and what is risky?
Bayern star Jamal Musiala speaks openly about absences. They can occur in connection with epilepsy. This is something that amateur athletes ask themselves too: what is possible without any problems - and where are there risks?
German football star Jamal Musiala has spoken about his recent "absences", caused by a neurological dysfunction. According to experts, such absences can be a form of epileptic seizure. The case has raised questions about epilepsy and sports, particularly for hobby athletes. People with epilepsy do not necessarily have to give up sports, as regular exercise can improve fitness and well-being.
The suitability of a sport depends on individual factors, such as seizure frequency and type, medication, and the risks of the sport itself.
