Association of Physical Activity Intensity With Mortality A National Cohort Study of 403 681 US Adults In this exceptionally large epidemiology study it was concluded that for the same volume of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), a higher proportion of vigorous physical activity (VPA) to total physical activity was associated with lower all-cause mortality. [...]

What is the minimal dose for resistance exercise effectiveness in prostate cancer patients? Systematic review and meta-analysis on patient-reported outcomes Even a relatively low dosage of resistance training results in clinically significant benefits in men with prostate cancer if intensity is moderate to high. This is in part because most are untrained to begin [...]

Exercise is proven to aid cancer treatments, so why don't patients have subsidised access to rehab? A really good article just published by one of Australia's leading news networks putting a strong case as to why exercise physiology services should be funded by the national Medicare system. It would certainly improve patient outcomes and [...]

We have the program, what now? Development of an implementation plan to bridge the research-practice gap prevalent in exercise oncology Abstract Background: Exercise has emerged as a promising therapy for people with cancer. Novel programs have been developed to translate research into practice; however, implementation barriers have limited their success in part because successful translation [...]

Can Exercise Adaptations Be Maintained in Men with Prostate Cancer Following Supervised Programmes? Implications to the COVID-19 Landscape of Urology and Clinical Exercise In this brief correspondence, we evaluate the potential impact of pivoting from face-to-face supervised to unsupervised home-based exercise programmes to contextualise the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in prostate cancer patients. [...]

Inflammation Mediates Exercise Effects on Fatigue in Patients with Breast Cancer This paper adds good new knowledge on the mechanisms by which exercise influences cancer biology and outcomes. PURPOSE: The randomized controlled OptiTrain trial showed beneficial effects on fatigue after a 16-week exercise intervention in patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. We hypothesize [...]
