Abstract:
Migraine is characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headache and has been ranked as the second most disabling medical condition in the world. In frequent or chronic migraine, preventive treatment is recommended; pharmacological, non-pharmacological or a combination of both. Aerobic exercise is an evidence-based alternative to non-pharmacological treatment of migraines and can decrease the number of migraine attacks, intensity, and duration of headaches, as well as increase quality of life. Exercise at a moderate to high intensity level, 3 times a week, 30 minutes, excluding warm up and cool down, is recommended.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

The Role of Exercise in Stress Management
Regular physical activity is essential for reducing stress and promoting cardiovascular health. Exercise strengthens the heart, enhances blood flow, keeps blood vessels flexible, and helps lower blood pressure, all of which reduce the body's stress response. Research shows that adults who exercise regularly have nearly half the...
