Study Notes
Medical Clearance
- Clients with a current or previous cancer diagnosis should seek clearance from a General Practitioner (GP) or Medical Oncologist before exercising.
- Legal reasons might prevent medical clearance from being granted, even when necessary.
- Medical clearance can provide insights into other health conditions and set specific exercise restrictions.
- A referral for exercise implies that the client is fit to participate.
Exercise Risk Assessment
- There are no specific pre-exercise screening tools for cancer patients endorsed by ESSA/ACSM.
- Detailed inquiry about the client's cancer history is crucial for ensuring safety and tailoring exercise plans.
- The assessment aims to identify risks, acknowledging that clients with cancer generally fall into a high-risk category.
Contraindications to Exercise
- Contraindications to exercise can be absolute or relative, influenced by:
- Treatment side effects such as cardiotoxicity and paraneoplastic syndromes.
- Secondary health conditions resulting from cancer or its treatment.
- Accelerated aging effects due to previous therapies.
Considerations for Exercise Participation
- It's vital to consider cardiometabolic changes linked to cancer and its treatments when designing exercise programs.
- Safe exercise participation requires awareness of potential complications and thorough risk assessment.
- "Red flags," which indicate that medical investigation is needed, must be identified and addressed promptly.
