Summary
This review summarizes exercise evidence for cancer patients, updating 2010 guidelines. It provides practical recommendations for cancer rehabilitation professionals to improve patient care.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Sports Medicine
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) convened experts in 2018 to review exercise literature for cancer patients.
- This review updates the 2010 ACSM Roundtable on Cancer, focusing on exercise's role in cancer rehabilitation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize and interpret the 2019 ACSM exercise evidence within a cancer rehabilitation framework.
- To provide expert-consensus-based exercise recommendations for diverse cancer populations across the care continuum.
Main Methods:
- Narrative review of three 2019 ACSM articles.
- Application of the Dietz model of Cancer Rehabilitation.
- Expert consensus tabulation of exercise recommendations.
Main Results:
- Evidence from the 2019 ACSM articles has direct implications for cancer rehabilitation professionals.
- Tabulated exercise recommendations are provided for specific cancer populations and care stages.
- Information is presented in text, tables, and figures for practical application.
Conclusions:
- The summarized evidence and practical recommendations facilitate the integration of exercise into cancer rehabilitation practice.
- Physiatrists and rehabilitation professionals can utilize these guidelines to enhance care for individuals with cancer.

7.1K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

01:27Exercise and Muscle Performance
1.9K
Exercise induces a range of adaptations in muscle tissue, depending on the type and duration of activity. Such physical training can be broadly categorized into two types: endurance exercises and resistance exercises.
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

01:20Exercise and Cardiovascular Response

Exercise significantly impacts cardiovascular response, which is crucial for understanding patient health and designing effective treatment plans.
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
