4. Lung cancer and exercise
• Regular exercise is one of the best things a person can do as a
cancer patient or survivor, with studies showing
improvements in cardio respiratory fitness, quality of life,
fatigue, and depression.
• Over the past few years, researchers have produced small, but
significant data showing exercise may also have important
benefits for lung cancer.
• The right amount of
exercise(http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/physical-exercise-

10. Benefits of exercise for lung cancer patients
• Physical activity reduces risk of cancer development in
multiple cancer types (http://lungcancersymptomsx.com/two-
types-of-lung-cancer.html)including lung.
• Multiple trials have shown that increased activity reduces
symptom burden and that exercise interventions may have
beneficial effects on quality of life, physical function, social
function, and fatigue.
• Non-surgical advanced-stage lung cancer patients may benefit
from increased physical activity by improving exercise
tolerance and symptom burden, though the location,
duration, and intensity to be recommended is not clear.
11. • Chronically-ill cancer patients have different exercise
limitations than their healthy counterparts and other
concurrent diseases and high symptom burden add challenges
in how best to study and implement physical activity
programs in lung cancer patients.

patients, especially improved symptoms and quality of life,
appear to apply to lung cancer survivors as well.

handle the level of exercise you may be used to.

of Light walking, or easy cycling, swimming, or other cardio,
several times a day, and build from there with small
milestones.

involved in your exercise and to keep you motivated.
• Improve your posture. Sitting down all day at a desk or driving
can take a toll on posture, which is directly correlated to
breathing and lung capacity.

cause weight gain and muscle and bone density loss, which
strength training can combat. Start small and consult your
doctor before beginning a strength training plan.

exercise session.
