Research has shown that to achieve the maximum effect from physical exercise, it is essential to adhere to a regular training schedule. This contributes to increased muscle mass, reduced fat tissue, improved metabolism, and decreased chronic inflammation, which is one of the factors contributing to cancer development.
Physical activity is especially important for those who have completed the primary treatment for cancer. For example, women who have undergone breast cancer treatment often exhibit elevated levels of inflammatory markers. Regular exercise helps to reduce these levels, improve overall well-being, lower the risk of recurrence, and enhance quality of life.
Thus, physical activity can become a key element in the comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation of patients with cancer. Myokines released during exercise contribute to the activation of the body's protective forces, opening new possibilities for non-pharmacological support of patient health.
