“…Of the controls, there was a higher prevalence of psoriasis (15/296, 5.1%) in those who did not perform regular physical activity compared to those who did (1/61, 1.6%) (p < 0.05). 44 These data may also support the notion that more intense physical exercise can reduce the risk of developing psoriasis; however, as previously discussed, the cross-sectional design does limit interpreting the direction of causality.…”

Psoriasis is a prevalent inflammatory skin disorder that is associated with a number of comorbidities including cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. Exercise can influence the outcomes of chronic inflammatory diseases, and the presence of these diseases can also influence physical activity in afflicted patients. We reviewed the available literature published on exercise in psoriasis patients and aimed to explore physical activity levels, barriers to exercise, physical fitness, exercise as a prevention strategy as well as a treatment modality. Overall, patients with moderate to severe psoriasis are more sedentary than the general population and experience barriers to exercise secondary to their skin disease. Moderate to vigorous exercise may be an independent preventative factor in reducing the incident risk of developing psoriasis and the utilization of exercise as a weight loss strategy may improve disease severity especially in overweight patients. Expert panels agree that exercise can be beneficial as an adjunct treatment in patients with psoriasis who are overweight; however, more randomized clinical trials are needed to establish these links.

“…Physical activity, especially the vigorous and constant one, seems to exert a protective role rather than being an aggravating factor. It is not clear whether weight loss can be more important than a sporting activity practiced with constancy in order to improve psoriasis, even though it's reasonable that the synergic effect of both these practices can lead to better results [8,9]. Another observation that emerges is that patients would benefit mainly from aerobic sports (swimming, tennis and running), as to emphasize that the control of blood sugar and lipid levels, through a shift of metabolism, could be crucial for a more adequate control of the disease.…”

“…It emerged that players affected by psoriasis did not perceive sport as a factor negatively influencing the natural history of their disease. A higher prevalence of psoriasis was found in controls who did not perform any physical activity with respect to those regularly involved in exercise programs, suggesting that physical activity may play a protective role against the development of cutaneous manifestations of the disease as well as its cardio-metabolic comorbidities [9]. A relevant question about the possible side effects of sport in case of psoriatic disease was posed by Brophy et al In a case report, they describe the case of a 39-year-old athlete who, presenting with recurrent monolateral knee effusions, received a late diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis since his injuries were initially diagnosed as due to trauma while playing; in addition, the patient had a positive family history of seronegative and nonseronegative spondyloarthritis.…”

The link between psoriasis and sport is a controversial issue. The topic has been poorly investigated, and nowadays there are many unsolved questions, dealing with the role of psoriasis in influencing the sporting habits of patients and, vice versa, the impact of sport activity on course, severity and extent of the disease, with particular regard to the indirect benefits on cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the role of physical activity on patients’ quality of life and the potential limitations on physical activity due to joint involvement have not been well elucidated until now. In this narrative review we will try to provide answers to these queries.

“…Regarding sporting activity, the latter did not constitute a variable tightly associated with biological drug prescription, since patients who never practice sporting activity had only 19% (OR = 0.81) fewer odds of receiving biologics compared to those performing sporting activity (�1 or 2 times weekly). Although it has been shown that regular physical activity has a beneficial effect on the natural course of the disease [36] and may lower the risk of psoriasis onset [37], the dermatologists appear to be not influenced by this variable during therapeutic decision.…”
