The Role of Exercise in Cancer Prevention
Exercise is an effective tool for reducing the risk of cancer and improving outcomes after a cancer diagnosis./nExercise is more effective than medications for managing cancer treatment side effects./nObservational studies have shown clear associations between exercise and a reduced risk of developing multiple types of cancer, particularly aerobic exercise./nExercise can improve hormone and insulin signaling, reduce inflammation, and have direct anti-tumor effects./nExercise can modulate the local immune micro environment, increase immune cell populations, and enhance their functionality./nResistance exercise also has positive effects on insulin signaling, inflammation reduction, bone density, and immune cell populations./nAerobic exercise is recommended for cancer prevention, and more research is being done on the effects of resistance training.
