Abstract
Physical activity and maintaining proper body mass, in addition to smoking cessation, are considered to be important factors in prevention of the most common cancers. Furthermore, physical activity has been increasingly researched as a non-pharmacological intervention to combat the physiologic and psychological effects of treatment in cancer patients. Current evidence suggests many health benefits from physical activity during and post cancer treatments.
