It is well known that, for those people with cancer, exercise has beneficial effects on strength, cardiovascular function, fatigue and quality of life. However, the ideal mode and intensity of exercise remains unclear.

In an effort to help remedy this gap, APA member Amy Dennett’s research investigates whether there is a dose-response effect of exercise on inflammation and fatigue in adult cancer survivors. Amy chats with Associate Professor, Mark Elkins, editor of the Journal of Physiotherapy about exercise rehabilitation for cancer survivors.
