Exercise Physiology Across the Cancer Continuum

Bloom’s Oncology Support Areas

At Bloom, we believe everybody deserves access to movement, support, and high-quality care, regardless of their diagnosis, treatment stage, or physical capacity. Through evidence-based exercise and compassionate, person-centred support, we help individuals move safely and confidently throughout their cancer journey.

With specialised oncology studies completed within a Master of Clinical Exercise Physiology, alongside clinical experience, Bloom delivers tailored exercise interventions that are adapted to each individual's goals, treatment side effects, functional capacity, and lifestyle.

Bloom supports individuals across the entire cancer continuum, including diagnosis, active treatment, end of treatment, survivorship, rehabilitation, palliative care, and advanced cancers. Programs are individually designed to help manage treatment-related side effects, improve physical function, reduce fatigue, and enhance quality of life at every stage of the journey.

  • Regular exercise plays an important role in cancer prevention by supporting healthy body composition, improving metabolic health, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall well-being. Maintaining an active lifestyle may help reduce cancer risk while supporting long-term physical and mental health.

  • Exercise can help individuals better tolerate cancer treatment by improving strength, fitness, and physical resilience. Evidence suggests exercise may assist in reducing treatment-related side effects such as fatigue, deconditioning, and loss of muscle mass while supporting overall quality of life throughout treatment.

  • Following treatment, exercise supports recovery by restoring strength, endurance, mobility, and confidence. It can help manage long-term treatment-related side effects, improve functional capacity, and support a return to meaningful daily activities, work, recreation, and community participation.

  • Exercise remains beneficial for individuals living with advanced cancer. Tailored programs can help maintain independence, preserve physical function, reduce fatigue, support symptom management, and enhance quality of life by enabling individuals to continue participating in activities that are meaningful to them.

Clinical Impact of Exercise Across the Cancer Continuum

Hojman, P., Gehl, J., Christensen, J. F., & Pedersen, B. K. (2018). Molecular Mechanisms Linking Exercise to Cancer Prevention and Treatment. Cell metabolism, 27(1), 10–21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2017.09.015

Anti-Oncogenic Effect of Exercise on Cancer

Research has shown that exercise may have “anti-oncogenic” effects, meaning it can help create a healthier environment within the body that may assist in slowing cancer progression and supporting overall health during and after treatment. Exercise can positively influence things such as inflammation, immune function, muscle mass, energy levels, hormone regulation, and overall physical resilience.

Exercise is slowly receiving its recognition as an important part of cancer care and can help improve treatment tolerance, reduce side effects, support recovery, and enhance quality of life throughout the cancer journey.

Muscles Send out Myokines ‘Good Signals’

  • Moving muscles release helpful substances (Myokines)

  • These slow down cancer cell growth

  • Tell damaged cells to die when they should

  • Boost your immune system’s “soldier cells” (NK cells) that attack cancer

Exercise Reduces “Bad Signals” From Adipose Tissue (Fat)

  • Excess Adipose Tissue (fat) increases inflammation (Pro Inflammatory Environment)

  • Excess Adipose Tissue can feed cancer cells and help them spread

  • Exercise manages Body Composition and reduces harmful signals

Controls Blood Sugar & Hormones

  • High blood sugar and insulin can fuel cancer

  • Exercise helps muscles use sugar for fuel

  • Makes the body more sensitive to insulin

  • Cuts down the “growth signals” that cancer depends on

Strengthens the Immune System

  • Exercise triggers small bursts of helpful chemicals

  • This activates immune cells and sends them straight to tumours

  • This helps your body fight cancer more effectively and bounce back from treatment!

Improves Blood Flow & Treatment Success

  • Exercise builds healthier blood vessels

  • Brings more oxygen, immune cells, and treatments to tumours

  • Makes treatment (chemotherapy and radiation) work better!

Exercise to Ease Treatment Related Side Effects

Every cancer journey is different, and treatment can affect the body in many ways. Evidence-based exercise has been shown to help manage, reduce, and support a wide range of treatment-related side effects. Below are some common symptoms and challenges that appropriately prescribed exercise can assist with throughout and after cancer treatment.

HELPING THE BODY COPE WITH PHYSICAL CHANGES

Pain, stiffness, or limited movement

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)

Lymphedema

BONE LOSS (Osteopenia / Osteoporosis

Changes in BODY COMPOSITION

Incontinence

EASING WHOLE BODY TREATMENT SIDE EFFECTS

Fatigue

CANCER-RELATED CARDIAC DYSFUNCTION (cardiotoxicity)

“Chemo brain” (memory and concentration)

SLEEP DISTURBANCES

Hot flushes (from hormone therapy)

Fibromyalgia

SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Improve Mood and emotions: endorphins, dopamine and serotonin

Improve Quality of Life

Support Independence

Boost SELF CONFIDENCE, self-efficacy, and self-esteem

Build completion of routine

Breaking the Inactivity Cycle & The Vicious Cycle of Fatigue

Accumulation of treatment-related side effects contributes to reduced physical activity. Continued sedentary behaviour can worsen current side effects + contribute to the development of other co-occurring diseases. The cycle continues by disengaging in exercise

What is the Inactivity Cycle?

Breaking this cycle by engaging in physical activity helps reduce the negative impacts of anti-cancer treatments + boosts energy, thus helping manage symptoms, which can encourage you to ‘feel’ like exercising!

Why is this Important?

Single bouts of any physical activity are proven to reduce fatigue, which can boost energy levels for exercise! Any exercise (ie breaking up long periods of sitting with standing/walking) is better than nothing! But if you are unsure about what to do/want guidance around safety, then seeing Bloom AEP is a great start!
