How does it operate the physical exercise on organs and systems


The movement means increased energy needs, primarily on the muscle, but also in other organs such as the cardiovascular system, nervous system, respiratory, metabolic and others. To meet this increased demand for energy, they are launched and activated most of the systems: the cardiovascular to pump more blood and transport; respiratory, to take more oxygen which then transport the blood to the muscles; metabolic, to provide nutrients (carbohydrates and / or fats) necessary to our muscles; as well as the nervous and hormonal systems are responsible for coordinating all these processes.

This stimulus on every organ and linked to the exercise system makes mid-term adjustments to improve its performance and capacity occur. During energy is expended and function of most systems is modified. In recovering the balance is restored and even get to improve its function as training is repeated. We all know that there is a basic principle in biology: "any organ or system is not stimulated or used atrophies," and in this sense, exercise is a clear example of this mode of behavior.

Regular physical exercise (3 to 5 times a week) promotes beneficial effects on health in general and also for our immune defenses against cancer:

Ø  Effects on overall health.
Ø  Reduces the relative risk of death from any cause.
Ø  It helps to maintain ideal weight, reducing fat and increasing muscle weight.
Ø  Reduces blood pressure levels.
Ø  Improves the function of cardiovascular system.
Ø  It helps prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis slow.
Ø  Reduces the incidence of back discomfort.
Ø  It helps prevent type 2 diabetes.
Ø  It improves self-esteem.
Ø  Reduces the incidence of depression.
Ø  Combats the effects of aging.
Ø  Effects on cancer / immune health.

Sedentary: A significant risk factor of cancer

The World Health Organization has warned since 2004 about the need to tackle the most important risk factors for cancer. Among the changes in the current lifestyle which may favor this disease, the increased sedentary life occupies a prominent role.
Patients after being diagnosed with cancer stop exercising, increase the risk of complications and the tumor reappear again.
There have been many studies on the relationship between cancer and physical activity, the conclusions are:


Ø  The level of scientific evidence on the role of physical activity as prevention factor is high and convincing, in cases of breast and colorectal cancer.
Ø  In cases of prostate cancer the level of scientific evidence is likely, and lung and endometrial only possible.
Ø  The beneficial effects of exercise in cancer prevention are dependent upon the total amount of exercise performed (hours and intensity). Thus, higher levels of physical activity, measured in hours practiced weekly, are associated with a lower incidence of certain cancers (breast, colon and prostate).
Ø  In previously treated patients, maintaining physical activity reduces the risk of recurrence and mortality.
Ø  In breast cancer patients undergoing hormone therapy with aromatase inhibitors practice of physical exercise it is essential.


Exercise Program at Nationwide Children's Helps Cancer Survivors Regain Strength and Confidence

Good morning to everyone! We're going to show you a video about physical exercises for children who have betaen a cancer.

There are many health effects that a patient may need to overcome after winning a battle against cancer. Cancer treatments can affect the patient's balance, agility, coordination, prompt weight gain and other physical ailments. So, Nationwide Children's Hospital has created a program called, "Play Strong" that allows pediatric and adolescent cancer survivors to improve their motor skills and transition into physical activity safely. Watch as Travis Gallagher, ATC, a certified athletic trainer in Sports Medicine, explains why this additional treatment plan is important for young cancer survivors to help return to a normal life.

Cancer Rehabilitation

For the first three to seven days after surgery days, the American Cancer Society recommends:
Use the arm on the side of surgery as you normally do when you bathe, comb, dress and eat.
Bed and lift the side arm surgery above heart level for 45 minutes two or three times a day. To do this, put the arm on pillows so that your hand is higher than the wrist and slightly higher than the shoulder elbow. This can help calm inflammation you have after surgery.
Exercising with the arm on the side of surgery when it is raised above heart level: the hand opens and closes 15 to 20 times. Then bend and straighten elbow. Do this three to four times per day. This helps to calm inflammation as it pumps the lymph fluid out of the arm.
Practice deep breathing using the diaphragm (muscle located below the navel), six times a day at least. Lie back and inhale slowly. Continues to slowly inhale as much air as you can while you try to expand the diaphragm (pushing the navel him away from the spine. When you can no longer breathe more air, relax and expel it all. Make it four to five times. The deep breathing helps to maintain the normal movement of the chest, which facilitates the work of the lungs.
