The Impact of Exercise on Cancer Mortality, Recurrence, and Treatment-Related Adverse Effects
TLDR
Compared with patients who performed no/less exercise, patients who exercised following a diagnosis of cancer were observed to have a lower relative risk of cancer mortality and recurrence and experienced fewer/less severe adverse effects.Abstract:
The combination of an increasing number of new cancer cases and improving survival rates has led to a large and rapidly growing population with unique health-care requirements. Exercise has been proposed as a strategy to help address the issues faced by cancer patients. Supported by a growing body of research, major health organizations commonly identify the importance of incorporating exercise in cancer care and advise patients to be physically active. This systematic review comprehensively summarizes the available epidemiologic and randomized controlled trial evidence investigating the role of exercise in the management of cancer. Literature searches focused on determining the potential impact of exercise on 1) cancer mortality and recurrence and 2) adverse effects of cancer and its treatment. A total of 100 studies were reviewed involving thousands of individual patients whose exercise behavior was assessed following the diagnosis of any type of cancer. Compared with patients who performed no/less exercise, patients who exercised following a diagnosis of cancer were observed to have a lower relative risk of cancer mortality and recurrence and experienced fewer/less severe adverse effects. The findings of this review support the view that exercise is an important adjunct therapy in the management of cancer. Implications on cancer care policy and practice are discussed.read more

Barriers and facilitators of exercise experienced by cancer survivors: a mixed methods systematic review
Briana Clifford,David Mizrahi,David Mizrahi,Carolina X. Sandler,Benjamin K. Barry,Benjamin K. Barry,David Simar,Claire E. Wakefield,Claire E. Wakefield,David Goldstein +9 more
TL;DR: Treatment-related side effects, lack of time and fatigue were key barriers to exercise for survivors of varied cancer types, and insufficient patient education may contribute to the belief that exercise is not helpful when experiencing side effects of treatment, including fatigue.

Resistance Exercise Training as a Primary Countermeasure to Age-Related Chronic Disease
TL;DR: It is proposed that the promotion of RET should assume a more prominent position in exercise guidelines particularly for older persons because of its role in influencing chronic disease risk and how it is a critical component for healthy aging.

TL;DR: The roundtable concluded that exercise training is safe during and after cancer treatments and results in improvements in physical functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related fatigue in several cancer survivor groups, sufficient for the recommendation that cancer survivors follow the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
