Exercise oncology research and services are advancing globally but unevenly. Coordinated international efforts are needed to boost research, workforce development, and access to cancer exercise programs worldwide.
Area of Science:
- Exercise oncology as a growing interdisciplinary field.
- Global health and cancer care research.
Background:
- Exercise oncology is a recognized area of research and clinical practice.
- Significant progress has been made, but development is uneven across continents.
- Demand for cancer exercise services outstrips current availability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a global overview of exercise oncology.
- To assess the scope of research and programs.
- To evaluate reimbursement availability and workforce development.
Main Methods:
- Surveyed expert viewpoints from six continents.
- Focused on research scope, reimbursement, and workforce development.
- Analyzed international perspectives on exercise oncology.
Main Results:
- Exercise oncology has progressed substantially worldwide.
- Significant underdevelopment noted in Africa, Asia, and South/Central America.
- Cancer exercise services remain insufficient to meet global demand.
Conclusions:
- The field of exercise oncology shows global advancement but with disparities.
- The formation of the International Society of Exercise Oncology presents an opportunity.
- Coordinated global efforts are crucial to optimize research, workforce, and service delivery.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
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...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
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...

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
