Breast Cancer And Exercise In Specific Years

Exercise is well known as a preventative measure against cancer and other noncommunicable diseases.
The amount of physical activity recommended by experts to prevent it and other and chronic diseases is 150 hours per week of moderate intensity. This is to protect the health from chronic diseases.

The chronic diseases are:

• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease(COPD)
• Obesity and related illnesses

Other more vigorous exercise such as running, jogging, cycling, swimming have added health benefits especially for overweight and obese people.

One study; however, has linked exercise during specific years of life to the  prevention of breast cancer.  In this study researchers used 1,500 women with breast cancer and 1,500 without breast cancer. They were interviewed about activities that they had been involved in throughout their lifespan.

The study focused on physical activity, the recreational type such as:
1-Walking
2-Running
3-Jogging
4-Biking
5-Gardening

They were not interested in the occupational type of activities.

The researchers found that exercise at any intensity, during the reproductive and post menopausal years was more effective in the prevention of breast cancer.
