Exercise can protect both muscle and nerves from damage caused by the restoration of blood flow after injury or surgery, a study has found. Researchers from the University of Virginia are working to better understand how the body is damaged by the restoration of blood flow -- known as ischemia reperfusion injury.

A new study has now shown why it is even more important to exercise. The research by the University of Virginia, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, has said that post surgery, exercise can protect muscle and nerves from damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury which refers to the damage that’s caused to tissues when the blood supply is restored to them after ischemia or lack of oxygen.
