DESCRIPTION:
There is compelling evidence that disease management
incorporating both physiology and psychology is establishing a secure foothold

of life for persons afflicted with cancer, but that exercise may have
measurable, and potentially beneficial effects on immune system and other
physically-oriented parameters.
COURSE
OBJECTIVES:
1) Discover new ways to design and instruct exercise programs for
cancer patients.
2) Examine how the disease affects quality
of life and how exercise can benefit your patients.

the latest scientific principles and theories related to the disease.
