In this episode I spoke with Dr. Kristin Campbell, who is a Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on exercise prescription for individuals with cancer. We start discussing the evidence behind the use of different types of exercise to reduce the risk of some types of cancer. We also talk about the mechanisms that make exercise an affordable yet powerful tool to protect us from this disease. We also discuss aspects that both patients and clinicians should take into account in relation to exercise and exercise prescription at different stages of the disease. We also talk about strategies to adapt to the often variable physical and psychological status of the person with cancer. Fascinating conversation with one of the best scientist in this field. Dr. Campbell can be reached by email at [email protected], twitter @KLCampbellPhD and @CEPL_UBC, or her lab website (https://cepl.rehab.med.ubc.ca).
