Exercício é tão essencial que até auxilia no tratamento de câncer

Uma vez li uns artigos interessantes sobre saúde pública no trabalho e pensei em procurá-los pra compartilhar por aqui um dia. Hoje num tempo livre achei esse aqui que tem uns dados bem legais sobre a influência de exercícios físicos no manejo de pacientes com câncer. Vou recortar uns trechos legais abaixo:

"Engaging in exercise following the diagnosis of cancer was observed to have a protective effect against cancer-specific mortality, cancer recurrence, and all-cause mortality. Based on the 11 meta-analyses that have evaluated these outcomes to date, the magnitude of effect was observed to be considerable (109–118). Specifically, superior levels of exercise following a cancer diagnosis were associated with a 28%–44% reduced risk of cancer-specific mortality, a 21%–35% lower risk of cancer recurrence, and a 25%–48% decreased risk of all-cause mortality"

"Despite existing limitations, the evidence to date substantiates recommendations for people with cancer to avoid inactivity and to engage in regular exercise. This includes participating in moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic and resistance exercise as endorsed by leading international organizations (133–135, 137, 138). For the potential of exercise to be realized, considerable effort and efficient investment are required to strengthen evidence-based policy and practice. Effectively implementing exercise within the cancer treatment paradigm is likely to contribute to a reduction in the burden of cancer."
