What type of exercise is good for a sickle cell patient with hb level 9.5 and with an enlarged spleen.

Sickle Cell: Exercise but not so much that you become really tired. When you exercise, drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, especially during warm weather. Due to anemia, you may have less stamina than hematologically normal individuals and exercise should be at your own pace. Aerobic exercises like running, swimming, walking and biking are recommended. Avoid swimming in cold water. Acclimatize!

Aerobic: The enlarged spleen would make contact sports risky. However, aerobic exercise (walking, running, swimming, rollerblading, depending on interests and current fitness) is to be encouraged.
