Reach - Research In Exercise And Cancer Health

Jeff is a researcher at Athabasca University who looks a physical activity and sedentary behavior in a variety of cancer populations.   We chat about reallocating time to physical activity in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, how rock-climbing might be beneficial to gynecological cancer survivors and how getting a dog could help with increasing activity! We also have an interesting chat about how increasing cancer patient’s/survivor’s activity is less about the activity we deem is “optimal” and more just providing them with choices and options of activity that they can look to integrate into their lifestyle.   You can find Jeff on Twitter @JeffVallance, or at http://fhd.athabascau.ca/faculty/jvallance/. Look for us at reachbeyondcancer.com or find me on twitter @CiaranFairman.   We talk about Mike Lang in the episode and the great things he’s doing with youth cancer survivors.
