Objective: The objective of this article is to verify and analyze the effects of exercise in people with cancer during chemotherapy.

One of the treatments for cancer is chemotherapy, which is a form of systemic cancer treatment that uses anticancer drugs, causing side effects in some patients, and one way to minimize these is the practice of physical strength and aerobic exercises.

Conclusion: So, it is concluded that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy may undergo a program of physical exercise cautiously guided and accompanied by a professional who has knowledge of the subject. |
