KPE426H1: Exercise & Cancer Survivorship

This course will examine the role of exercise and physical activity in cancer survivorship from a physiological, functional, and psychosocial perspective. The effects of exercise and physical activity on cancer will be studied across the disease continuum, including its role in cancer prevention, disease- and treatment- related symptom management, post-treatment late-effects, and palliative care. Exercise guidelines, required adaptations, appropriate fitness and outcome assessments for cancer survivors will be discussed. This course will explore contemporary approaches, facilitators, and barriers to exercise integration in clinical care within the context of oncology, as well as broader cancer survivorship issues.
