Is exercising part of your routine? If not, maybe here’s a reason why it should be, especially if you’re battling cancer. Exercise has been found to significantly reduce side-effects associated with the treatment of cancer, as per the most comprehensive review of its kind.
Exercise as a Counter to Detrimental Effects of Treatment
The review presents the results of various studies that have evaluated how physical activity affects the health outcomes of cancer patients. These studies on exercise span aerobic and resistance training, high-intensity interval training, Tai Chi, yoga, and more.
Positive Impact of Exercise
Researchers found that exercise significantly reduced side effects associated with cancer treatment as compared to those who didn’t exercise. The side effects where exercise showed a significant reduction include heart damage, peripheral nerve damage, cognitive impairment (brain fog), and shortness of breath.
Furthermore, exercise not only enhanced body composition and physiological indicators of health but also improved sleep quality, psychological wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
Preoperative Exercise Benefits
Did you know that incorporating exercise preoperatively showed a high to moderate certainty in reducing risks of postoperative complications and the length of hospital stay?
