Is it safe for a person affected with dwarfism to exercise?
Although exercise must be taken on a case-by-case basis, bearing in mind the type of dwarfism and how severely the person is affected, in general exercise is highly recommended. For a healthy person with achondroplasia, as well as some other types of dwarfism, swimming and bicycling can be recommended without hesitation. A doctor’s advice should be sought out in the case of other physical activities.
