#099 The Science of Exercise for Cancer | Kerry Courneya, PhD

Mar 3, 2025 · 01:51:09
AI Summary
  • Exercise is a therapeutic intervention for cancer—over 600 peer-reviewed studies demonstrate it recalibrates tumor biology, enhances treatment tolerance, and improves survival outcomes
  • Structured aerobic, resistance, and high-intensity interval training all reduce cancer risk and mitigate treatment side effects; exercise benefits persist even for smokers and obese populations
  • Weekend-only exercise provides meaningful cancer risk reduction; exercise should be effortful and integrated into comprehensive cancer care protocols, not optional wellness activity
