Ist es für eine Person mit einer Addison-Krankheit ratsam Sport zu machen? Wenn ja, welchen Sport, wie oft und wie intensiv?

Exercise is recommended but must be managed very closely to limit undue physical stress (we cannot produce extra cortisol to respond to physical stress) and dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. Because of the lack of vitamin D, lack of natural cortisol, lack of androgens and other factors we are at an elevated risk of osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercise can reduce this risk. Regular exercise can also help reduce weight gain prevalent in Addison's patients and possibly reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
