Abstract:
The prevalence of cancer is increasing, with an estimated number of new cases of 21.6 million worldwide by 2030. Progress in cancer therapies has turned it into a chronic disease. Physical exercise is essential both for the general population and for oncology patients. Practicing exercise reduces the risk of developing certain cancer types and, in oncologic patients, it can reduce symptoms secondary to the disease and to treatment as well as decrease the risk of relapsing. Encouraging adapted physical exercise to every oncologic patient is therefore essential (or crucial). It is recommended to practice regular physical activity equivalent to 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of high intensity activity per week.
