as running, biking, swimming, hiking, or sexual activity and activities such
as gardening, golfing, and horseback riding do not precipitate AAA rupture

, Moderate physical therapy may also limit aneurysm expansion. In
experimental aneurysms, increased aortic blood flow appears to inhibit AAA
expansion

activities that lead to Valsalva transiently induce significant increases in
blood pressure and should be avoided

or other interventions that reduce ventricular size, or later with those
interventions that increase chamber size such as squatting
