Regular exercise is one of the most effective supportive measures in cancer treatment. Studies show that it reduces fatigue, improves the immune system, strengthens muscle power and can lower the risk of relapse in some types of cancer.

For a long time, rest was considered the standard approach – but evidence-based medicine knows better: controlled exercise is safe, effective and supports long-term recovery.

Exercising together increases motivation, enjoyment and stamina. People who are active in groups experience less stress, have a better mood and stronger social bonds which is an important protective factor in cancer.

Just a few minutes of exercise improves blood circulation, activates energy systems and lifts your mood. Studies show that short workouts have an immediate effect – both physiologically and psychologically.

Cold weather and darkness can dampen your spirits but exercise has a powerful effect on your mood, sleep quality and immune system, especially at this time of year.
