Here are a few highlights on the relation between physical activity and incidence of psoriasis based on three aspects:

· The Effect of Sports on Psoriasis

· The Impact of Psoriasis on Sport Activities

· The Importance of Sports in Psoriasis

Sports may improve the quality of life of patients with psoriasis. Sport activities seem to be a notable, non-pharmacological source for promoting a healthier lifestyle in psoriasis patients. Yet, the impact of different types of sport activities on psoriasis needs further research.
