Produktbeschreibung

With contributions from top researchers in the field, Cancer Prevention and Management through Exercise and Weight Control provides a comprehensive review of the roles of energy balance and physical activity in cancer incidence and prognosis. This book explores the research methods used in assessing the association between these factors, explains the mechanisms proposed to play a role in this relationship, including sex hormones and insulin levels, and examines the importance of physical activity for cancer patients. The authors also detail the effect of obesity on cancer incidence and prognosis. The book concludes with ways to implement the information at the individual, clinical, and public health levels.
