Leading the charge in exercise oncology, AKTIV Against Cancer works to ensure physical activity will become an integral part of cancer treatment.

WHY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY?

Physical activity can be positive for the vast majority of cancer patients, both during and after treatment. It helps reduce unwanted side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and sleep problems while increasing endurance, strength, and energy. It can also help build a sense of empowerment and improve quality of life.

Recent research indicates the benefits of physical activity extend beyond controlling symptoms and side-effects of cancer therapy; it is shown to reduce cancer progression and improve a patient's response to anticancer therapy.
