'Salat' is a Muslim prayer mandatory for all Muslims five times a day. It is comparable to performing a mildintensity exercise, because most of the joints and musclesundergo exercise during different positions and movements adopted in Salat. Though Salat is practised by all Muslims, evidence is very limited regarding the biomechanics and therapeutic effects of Salat as an exercise. However, literature shows activation of biceps brachii, triceps brachii, pectoralis major, scapular musculature, rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius during different postures of Salat. Moreover, Salat is also found to improve balance in healthy individuals as well as stroke patients, decreases the chances of development of knee osteoarthritis, and provide cardiovascular and compositional benefits. The current literature review was planned to look into the current evidence and discuss what is known regarding the effects of Salat and how it can be used as an exercise.
“礼拜”是所有穆斯林每天必须进行五次的穆斯林祈祷。它相当于进行轻度运动，因为在礼拜中采取的不同姿势和动作过程中，大部分关节和肌肉都会得到锻炼。尽管所有穆斯林都进行礼拜，但关于礼拜作为一种运动的生物力学和治疗效果的证据非常有限。然而，文献表明在礼拜的不同姿势期间肱二头肌、肱三头肌、胸大肌、肩胛肌肉、股直肌、股二头肌、胫骨前肌和腓肠肌会被激活。此外，还发现礼拜能改善健康个体以及中风患者的平衡能力，降低患膝关节骨关节炎的几率，并带来心血管方面的益处和身体成分方面的改善。本次文献综述旨在研究当前证据，并讨论关于礼拜的效果以及如何将其用作一种运动的已知情况。
