How many days per week should one engage in Aerobic Exercise?
3-5 d/wk
True or False
There is no risk of exacerbating lymphedema during resistance training
True
How would you characterize/define cancer?
Uncontrolled growth & spread of abnormal cells
Cancer has spread to distant parts of the body; What stage am I?
Stage IV
1.) How many days per week should one engage in Resistance Training?
2.) What intensity is recommended?
1.) 2-3 d/wk with a minimum of 48h between sessions
2.) 60-80% 1-RM OR 6-15 reps increasing weight as tolerated and when reps >15.
True or False
For breast cancer patients, an evaluation of core/back mobility prior to upper body exercise should be done;
False; Arm/shoulder evaluation should be done
What are the three known "hallmark" causes of cancer?
1.) Internal factors (i.e. inherited gene mutations)
2.)Environmental factors (i.e. smoking, working with toxic chemicals)
3.) Physical inactivity
Cancer is present. The higher the number, the larger the cancer tumor and the more it has spread into nearby tissues; What stage am I?
Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III
What are the best types of flexibility/stretching for survivors?
Static stretches; Tai Chi and yoga may be preferred
What are the two most common types of cancer for Men and Women?
Name a few symptoms of cancer?
-Unintentional weight loss
-Unexplained cough
-Blood in stool or urine
-Pain or change in function of the organ system affected
Explain the cancer classification system
Hint: T,N,M
T: the size of a tumor based on physical examination or imaging
N: the degree of lymph node involvement
M: the presence of distant metastases
HRR may be less reliable for monitoring aerobic exercise for survivors undergoing treatment due to change in RHR & MHR, what would you use instead?
-RPE
-% of Max HR
-Fatigue Scale

Carcinoma: Epithelial cells of organs
Leukemia: blood/bone marrow
Lymphoma: Immune system
Sarcoma: Connective tissue (bone, muscle, fat)
Swimming should NOT be prescribed for survivors with.....?
Central lines, ostomies, those in an immunocompromised state or who are currently receiving radiation therapy.
True or False
Chemotherapy uses powerful ionizing radiation to kill rapidly dividing cells in the body or slow rate of growth; may shrink tumors before surgery or help relieve pain/pressure.
False, chemotherapy uses powerful medications to kill rapidly dividing cells in the body or slow rate of growth; may shrink tumors before surgery or help relieve pain/pressure.
