Resistance Training For Cancer Patients

A recent Canadian study on the
effects of Resistance training (weight training)
on breast cancer patients undergoing
Chemotherapy produced incredible results.

Researchers found that weight training improved
chemotherapy completion rates.
A properly executed weight training program
improved self esteem, physical fitness levels
and body composition and allowed
the patient's a better and more successful recovery rate.
The study showed that although cardio and weight training
both have advantages and benefits...
The resistance training produced broader
and more positive effects and was
found more tolerable during the chemotherapy treatment.
