A new study indicated that doctors should prescribe exercise for patients who treat cancer to help them face the side effects of treatments.
Experts found that physical activity during treatment can enhance mental health and sleep, and that those who practice exercise have an excellent quality of life, according to the British News Agency (BA Media).
The new study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, witnessed experts conducting a wide review of the evidence available in this regard.
The researchers in China collected data from 80 systematic reviews that have been achieved between exercising and different types of cancer.
The review found that exercise compared to regular care or lack of exercises, has greatly reduced certain side effects related to cancer treatment, heart and nerve damage and brain confusion.
Various types of exercise can help while receiving cancer treatment in fitness management, lowering body fat and improving its slim mass.
Physical activity also organizes the main health indicators in the body, such as insulin indicators and inflammation.
The study indicates that exercises can include yoga and general sports to enhance sleep quality and “Tai Chi” for anxiety.
The researchers called for more studies to help “clarify” any specific type of sports that can be beneficial for different types of cancer.
