Tuberculosis is a relatively common chronic wasting infectious disease. Taking good rest is a medical advice that doctors repeatedly emphasize to patients. Can TB patients do physical exercise or not, and how can they do it? This is one of the questions that doctors are often consulted in the clinic. Most doctors have a conservative attitude towards this, at least until the 1930s and 1940s, when people had doubts about physical exercise in TB patients. The emphasis was on nutritional rest and sunshine and air. It was not until the availability of highly effective anti-TB drugs that doctors really began to experiment with this, but there were still no clear guidelines on what to do. According to national and international experts in respiratory disease and sports medicine, appropriate physical activity is possible in many types of tuberculosis, especially in the early stages of infiltrative tuberculosis and in the period of improvement of absorption. This is because, in the former case, the lesions are very small, the patient has not yet developed significant conscious symptoms, and the physical and mental condition is not very debilitating. In the latter case, as the lesion is in a recovery state, the symptoms are less pronounced and the general condition has rebounded considerably. The appropriate amount of activity can enhance the body’s metabolism, increase lung ventilation and blood oxygen concentration, improve blood and lymph circulation in the chest cavity and enhance the body’s immunity, thus improving the patient’s physical fitness and resistance to disease. However, patients with active tuberculosis or those with cough, hemoptysis, fever, chest pain, weakness and other obvious symptoms of tuberculosis and those with poor general condition, severe weakness and emaciation are not suitable for physical exercise. When tuberculosis patients engage in physical exercise, the amount of activity should be different from person to person, so that they do not feel too fatigued as a principle. And we should pay attention to the environment of the activity, the air should be circulated, not too dirty. Patients in recovery can also choose appropriate ball games, but still avoid strenuous exercise.
