Reach - Research In Exercise And Cancer Health

This is part 2 with Jeff, who is a researcher at Athabasca University who looks a physical activity and sedentary behavior in a variety of cancer populations.     We talk about the Amber study, a massive study looking at physical activity in 1,500 cancer patients and looking at them up to 10 years after treatment. This study will answer A LOT of important questions about physiological effects of exercise, along with effects of activity on cancer recurrence and mortality. We also chat about how theire trying to develop a central databse of cancer facilities to try and improve the cancer network across the country. Finally, we chat about how we might be putting too many barriers to exercise with cancer patients and survivors – a really important topic.
