The latest research has shown that exercise is not only safe and possible after cancer, but also immediately after diagnosis and during treatments. Rehabilitative exercise is an important part of returning to activities of daily living after cancer treatment. The effects of exercise leads to significant improvements in day-to-day functioning, intensity and tolerance of symptoms, fitness and overall health-related quality of life.

Engaging in regular exercise increases muscle strength, joint flexibility and general conditioning, all of which may be impaired by surgery and some therapies. Not only is exercise known for improving cardiovascular function and bone health, but it also elevates the mood helping to relieve feelings of depression that may occur after a cancer diagnosis. Lastly, exercise can help control a patient’s weight, which is a crucial factor that can raise the risk of a cancer recurrence.
