Children with cancer and physical activity

Abstract

Most people participate in physical activity on a regular basis. However, among the many patients with cancer, few incorporate physical activity into their daily routine. It is because of parental or physician restriction, the fact remains that patients with epilepsy are less fit and do not get the exercise they need. Participating in physical activ­ity, physical fitness as they have less of a fear. However, this overprotective attitude has been changing in light of the recent literature on this subject. This review discusses benefits of physical activity in cancer and the effects of exercise on seizure.

Kanserli çocuklar ve fiziksel aktivite

Abstract

Çoğu insan, belirli bir temelde fiziksel aktiviteye katılmak­tadır. Fakat kanserli hastalar arasında, günlük rutinde, fi­ziksel aktiviteye katılım oldukça azdır. Ailevi veya uzman sınırlamalarından dolayı, kanserli hastalar daha az fiziksel uygunluktadır ve ihtiyaç duydukları egzersizi yapamazlar. Daha az bir fiziksel uygunluğa sahip olduklarından fizik­sel aktiviteye katılmaktan korkarlar. Bununla birlikte, bu konudaki son literatürün ışığında bu aşırı koruyucu tutum değişmektedir. Bu derleme, kanserli hastalarda fiziksel aktivitenin faydalarını ve bu hastalık üzerine egzersiz re­çetelerinin etkilerini tartışmaktadır.
