Breast cancer and exercise, for healing? Exercise during the cancer treatment period reduces depression and fatigue. It may offer more benefits as well. Some researchers claim that physical activity, like aerobic exercise, offer more than a psychological impact. A growing number of physicians and researchers believe that people who remain physically active during treatment are more likely to beat cancer.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) panel revised the national guidelines on exercise for cancer patients that their group had published six years ago. Previous recommendations emphasized rest. They now advise cancer patients and those recovering from cancer to get the same amount of exercise recommended for everyone. This translates to two and-a-half hours per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise.
