In the illustration belowâ¦. (1) The iron hammer on its own has no kinetic energy, but it has some potential energy (because of its weight). (2) To drive a nail into the piece of wood (which is work), he has to lift the iron hammer up, (this increases its potential energy because if its high position).
Now, exercise is highly recommended for people with epilepsy, for starters because it helps to reduce stress levels, which can sometimes trigger seizures. In fact, physical activity has been shown to decrease seizure frequency, as well as lead to improved cardiovascular and psychological health in people with epilepsy.
