Atividades Físicas Com Pacientes Oncológicos

Abstract

The INCA (National Cancer Institute) has been warning of the increase in cancer incidence and mortality both nationally and worldwide, the institute says that the factors that are contributing to this growth are: population growth, aging, as well as the change in the distribution and prevalence of cancer risk factors, especially those associated with socioeconomic development. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate treatment options that enable prevention as well as a good quality of life for patients. Therefore, this study is a literature review which aims to demonstrate and discuss some of the possible advantages of rehabilitation programs with cancer patients that involve exercises in order to highlight the importance of the physical education professional in the treatment. The research selected 36 studies ranging from articles, dissertations, tcc's, reviews, standardization and cataloging of the ministry of health for debates on the subject. With this, we could emphasize that there is growing evidence of the hypothesis that physical activity/physical exercise has a considerable benefit for cancer patients. However, it is up to future research to investigate this relationship between training and group viability so that there is a better clarification of its mechanisms.
