Activity Levels

When it comes to your treatment journey, you will have differing levels of activity levels. Be patient with yourself. The key is to keep moving.

  • Light exercises: Do not cause you to break a sweat or produce shortness of breath. Examples: Leisurely walking, biking slowly, stretching, light weight training.

  • Moderate exercises: Typically types of activity that can be performed easily while talking. Examples: Brisk walking, hiking, faster bicycling, active dancing.

  • Vigorous activity: Increases heart rate and typically makes you breathe more heavily. Examples: Running, swimming laps, competitive sports, heavy weightlifting

Why Exercise?

Exercise is good for you, but here’s why … when it comes to colorectal cancer.

预防癌症2024-12-19T22:47:37+00:00

运动已被证明可以降低罹患结肠直肠癌的风险。事实上,2016 年对 126 项研究进行的荟萃分析发现,与很少运动的患者相比,运动量较大的患者患结肠癌的风险要低 19%。运动可通过多种方式降低罹患结肠直肠癌的风险:

  • 缩短食物通过消化系统的时间
  • 它有助于预防肥胖,而肥胖是多种癌症的风险因素之一
  • 它有助于减轻炎症和促进免疫系统功能
  • 它有助于防止血液中胰岛素水平过高,而胰岛素水平过高与癌症的发生和发展有关

为了预防癌症,每天进行 30-60 分钟的中度到剧烈运动!如果您无法在这段时间内进行剧烈运动,那就散散步或站起来活动活动。有活动总比没有活动好!

减轻疲劳2024-12-19T22:48:01+00:00

与不运动的人相比,通过运动可以减少 40-50% 的疲劳。运动能增加流向大脑和其他器官的血流量,最大限度地促进氧气循环,确保您的器官和细胞获得茁壮成长所需的营养。

Combat depression2024-12-19T22:48:22+00:00

Research shows that regular exercise can help alleviate and combat depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. While it isn’t exactly clear how, it may be due the body releasing endorphins (natural “feel good” chemicals your body produces) and taking your mind off anxieties that may be bothering you.

Reduce the risk of weak bones (osteoporosis)2024-12-19T22:48:45+00:00

Exercise helps promote strong bones in both children and adults. It helps to strengthen muscles, supporting the skeleton, and helps make bone denser and replace old bone with new growth. If you have already been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, talk to your healthcare provider before starting an exercise regimen.

Reduce nausea2024-12-19T22:49:06+00:00

Certain types of gentle physical activity, such as yoga, may provide some relief from nausea.

Self-esteem2024-12-19T22:49:33+00:00

Exercise releases natural endorphins in your body, which makes you feel better. It may also provide a sense of accomplishment and can present an opportunity to set and achieve progressive goals. You don’t need to look like Michaelangelo’s statue of David to feel good about yourself, regular exercise is enough to get the ball rolling!

Sleep2025-04-28T19:54:08+00:00

Multiple studies back up the idea that regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and improve the overall quality of your sleep. Additionally, exercise can help improve your mood and reduce anxiety, which can help clear your mind and prepare you for a good night’s rest.

Exercise has also been proven to help reduce the risk of recurrence amongst cancer survivors, and it may help colorectal cancer patients and survivors live longer.

Exercising while on treatment

Get as much exercise as possible while on treatment, but take caution and limit exercises or spaces that may put you at risk. Don’t overdo it! Try to avoid:

  • Vigorous exercise if you have a low red blood cell count
  • Heavy weight training while in active treatment
  • Using public gym equipment if you have a low white blood cell count
  • Swimming in public hot tubs, pools, lakes and rivers

The side effects of treatment may leave you feeling low energy, but the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American College of Sports Medicine stress the importance of moderate activity during cancer treatment.

They suggest exercising as much as you’re able, as studies show that exercise leads to improved outcomes. Following diagnosis, it’s recommended that you return to normal daily activity as soon as you can.

Getting Started

Talk to your doctor about exercise and fitness programs available through the cancer center. Plan your exercise routine on your personal fitness level. Set short-term goals (this week I will ______ , this month I will ______).

Take breaks as needed during exercise. Exercise with a friend or take a walk with your dog. Try a stationary bike or elliptical machine if you have neuropathy.

Start slow and listen to your body – treatment recovery can take time. Take the stairs or ride your bike if you feel able. Be kind to yourself – getting back into an exercise routine can be hard. Start slow and listen to your body. Take the opportunity to get exercise when you normally wouldn’t, like sweeping the floor instead of letting the robot vacuum take care of it for you.

Almost half of all colorectal cancer patients need six months before feeling able to achieve the recommended amount of exercise for healthy adults.

Exercise in Survivorship

Physical activity is recommended for everyone, and especially in survivorship. Benefits include:

  • Reduced risk of recurrence. Colon cancer survivors can reduce their risk by walking and staying active.
  • Manage weight.
  • Improved mental health.

Recommended Routine for Survivors

Set a weekly goal of:

  • 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate physical activity OR 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous activity
  • Incorporate strength training 2x per week

If you have an ostomy, talk to your doctor about any precautions you should take while exercising.

Start with whatever amount of physical activity works for you, and slowly build your way up to more vigorous activity. Some activity is better than none, and moving your body will help you start feeling more like yourself sooner.
