We hear more and more from the growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating the importance of physical activity for cancer prevention, cancer survivorship, and optimal quality of life before, during, and after cancer treatment. Physical activity contributes to our health by helping to control our weight, maintaining healthy bones and muscles, and promoting our psychological well-being.
