Physical activity in Ramadan can boost public health, expert says

RIYADH: Promoting physical activity during Ramadan can boost public health, according to a local expert. Dr. Ibrahim Bakri, a specialist in sports management at Jazan University, said that exercise during Ramadan should not be stopped but managed, the Saudi Press Agency reported recently. Practicing low-intensity activities before iftar was a suitable option, such as slow walking, stretching, or light exercises that activate muscles, because of their role in stimulating blood circulation without depleting fluid and energy stores.
