Cancer and physical activity: facilitating counseling

Gómez-Bruton, Alejandro (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Granada-López, José Manuel (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Aguirre, Elena ; Garatachea, Nuria

Resumen: Recent studies suggest that only 27.6% of cancer survivors meet PA guidelines. This could partially be attributed to the limited knowledge reported by healthcare professionals (HCP) regarding the appropriate timing, methodology, and suitability of referring cancer survivors to exercise programs or professionals. In this commentary, we aim to acknowledge the challenges that HCP may face in prescribing exercise and propose potential solutions to facilitate their efforts in this regard.
