I have always done light stretching. I also play Wheelchair basketball and Wheelchair Rugby. They help with fitness.

This is a debatable question. Exercises should be done to maintain the strength and cardio ability of the person with HSP to maintain some level of mobility. Also, a physical therapist can recommend stretching exercises to counteract the contraction of muscles common with people with HSP.

Exercise can help preserve some ability level and mitigate progression. I participate in various adaptive sports, including sled hockey and hand cycling. Again, your ability to participate is specific to your own symptoms.
