Did you know that exercise is safe for people with cancer when it is appropriately prescribed and monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent research suggests that exercise benefits most people both during and after cancer treatment. It can help manage some of the common side effects of treatment, speed up your return to your usual activities, and improve your quality of life. The evidence also shows there is little risk of exercise causing harm if care is taken and professional exercise advice is followed closely. For some cancers, exercise can even improve treatment outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People with cancer should be as physically active as their abilities and condition allow. Some days may be harder than others, but even a few minutes of light exercise is better than no exercise at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your oncology specialist before starting an exercise program, particularly if you have bone cancer or if you have any persistent treatment\u2013related side effects, such as lymphoedema (swelling caused by a build\u2013up of lymph fluid), shortness of breath, nerve damage, skin irritation, fatigue, or pain. Your cancer rehabilitation practitioner and\/or specialist can advise whether you need a modified exercise program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are already very active at the time of the cancer diagnosis, talk to your doctor and an exercise professional (see below) about how you can retain your fitness during and after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seeking the advice of an exercise physiologist with cancer rehabilitation experience is recommended so you can receive an individually tailored exercise prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
