As an adjuvant measure, physical exercise should be recommended for all patients with an ulcus cruris venosum, and should be a permanent part of the patient's lifestyle on completion of wound healing. Although clinical studies have shown that physical exercise has a positive effect on numerous factors of relevance for the development of an ulcer, sports activities undertaken for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes are still made little use of by patients.
