A Kansas State University researcher has found that fast-walking or a
light jogging on a regular basis can improve cancer treatments.
Behnke and his co-researchers had a $750,000 American Cancer Society
grant and found that moderate exercise improves blood flow to tumors and
enhances the effectiveness of radiation treatments. Existing research
has found that moderate exercise can also help cancer patients
counteract some negative side effects of treatment like fatigue, low
blood count and muscle atrophy.
But Behnke said that too much exercise can be counter-productive.
