3 General Benefits of Exercise PHYSICAL Cardiovascular fitness Building muscle strength Cancer and chronic disease prevention Weight loss Improve balance Osteoporosis prevention EMOTIONAL Decrease depression Energy boost Improve sleep quality lifestyleguide.us
4 How Can Exercise Help Cancer Survivors? The benefits of exercise and physical activity can help survivors to address some of the side effects of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
5 Possible Side Effects of Surgery Scar tissue restrictions Limited range of motion or flexibility
6 Possible Side Effects of Chemotherapy Change of body image Hair loss Weight gain or loss Diarrhea or malnutrition Peripheral edema Fever, risk of infection Orthostatic hypotension Peripheral neuropathy Balance loss
7 Possible Side Effects of Radiation Fatigue Osteopenia Neutropenia Radiation induced fibrosis contracture Fragile skin or tissue
8 What Do Survivors Notice? I can t get my shoes on anymore. (Edema or swelling in feet) I can t lift what I used to be able to. (Decreased strength or muscle mass) I catch myself stumbling or reaching for the wall. (Decreased balance and safety) I need someone to help me do chores around the house. (Decreased independence) I have to rest when going upstairs or on inclines. (Decreased endurance)
9 Do Survivors Need Exercise?
10 Research: Survivors and Exercise Survivors tend to decrease their physical activity levels after their diagnosis of cancer, and most continue lower levels of activity through treatment and beyond, rarely returning to their pre diagnosis levels of activity. Irwin, Crumley, McTiernan, et al. 2003; Courneya & Friedenreich
11 Summary of Exercise Research What types of cancer have been studied? Prostate Breast Lung Colorectal Gynecologic Head/Neck Lymphoma Leukemia What has exercise improved in cancer survivors? Aerobic fitness Muscle strength Body composition Pain Depression Fatigue Quality of Life Chance of Recurrence Mortality
12 New Cancer Exercise Guidelines New recommendations made after expert panel reviewed and evaluated literature on the safety and outcomes of exercise training during and after cancer therapy. Cancer patients and survivors should get the same 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity aerobic exercise that is recommended for the general public. Health care providers should tailor exercise recommendations to individual patients based on fitness level and side effects from treatment. University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (2010, June 1). New cancer guidelines: Exercise during and after treatment is now encouraged. Science Daily.

14 World Cancer Research Fund: Physical Activity Recommendations for Survivors Be physically active as part of everyday life Be moderately physically active, equivalent to brisk walking, for at least 30 minutes every day As fitness improves, aim for 60 minutes or more of moderate, or for 30 minutes or more of vigorous, physical activity every day Limit sedentary habits such as watching television
15 General Exercise Recommendations US Dept of Health and Human Services: 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Adult Americans 2.5 hours/week of moderate intensity or 1.25 hours/week of vigorous intensity Should increase to 5 hours/week of moderate intensity or 2.5 hours/week of vigorous intensity 2x/week of strengthening of major muscle groups
16 General Exercise Recommendations Cardiovascular Daily if possible, minimum of 30 minutes Warm up/cool down Target HR Zone
17 General Exercise Recommendations Strength training 2 3x/week For arms, abdominals, and legs Slow, steady progression
18 General Exercise Recommendations Stretching 2 3x/week Avoiding injury Importance of technique Yoga
19 Exercise Precautions Always consult with your MD or other practitioner to clear you for exercise Seek advice from a trained professional (PT) Blood lab values (platelets, Hct, Hgb) Metastases Heart conditions Lymphedema Chronic orthopedic injuries
20 Other Considerations Gradually increase time and intensity Proper hydration and rest Cross training Use of appropriate equipment Dressing properly
21 HELP! Join a team (accountability) Get your spouse, best friend, children, or animals to join in Exercise journal or log Local classes or support groups Join a gym
22 PHYSICAL THERAPY! Survivors should get consultation as soon as possible after diagnosis Focus on education, especially exercise precautions and safety Manual therapy (stretching, scar tissue mobility, etc.)
23 PHYSICAL THERAPY! Exercise prescription and consultation for managing fatigue and improving endurance Comprehensive individually tailored exercise program prescription which includes cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, and flexibility exercises
24 Seattle Area Exercise Programs Cancer Lifeline ( Stretch and Strengthen, Yoga, Lebed Team Survivor Northwest ( Women only; yoga, fitness training, swimming, hiking, dragon boating and canoeing, biking Gilda s Club ( Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi YMCA Exercise and Thrive ( 10 week fitness program; need medical clearance
25 Exercise and Thrive Program 12 week, 2x/week, 90 min. strength and fitness program for survivors Training provided by Y and the SCCA / Hutchinson Center Content foci: resistance exercise didactic/support 13 locations, 26 sessions to date
26 EXERCISE! Exercise is something you have control over before, during, and after treatment this doesn t change. You may not have control over many factors during treatment but you do have a say in helping yourself recover faster, making yourself feel better, and ensuring a great quality of life as a cancer survivor!
