Metrics details. A healthy lifestyle appears to be difficult to achieve for cancer patients after the end of therapies, and this may cause different side effects and physiological and psychological impairments. The preliminary findings from the OACCUS team pointed out that not only the healthy diet and the non-pharmacological strategies such as exercise interventions but also sleep disorders and mental health require attention and a deeper investigation, particularly in Young Cancer Survivors YCS.
In more detail, I'll mention our interesting systematic review of the potential novel effect of RT on sleep outcomes in cancer survivors. The overall methodological rationale adopted by the consortium will be shared with the audience, particularly all preliminary actions required for the research lines definitions.
Gentile et al. On the other hand, Lakicevic et al. Concerning the sleep disorders review, more than 20 studies were included in the analysis taken from 11, studies identified during the first-round search. The OACCUS project is about fostering a future-oriented healthy lifestyle through four core elements: a outdoor sports and exercise, b psychoeducation, c healthy nutrition and d a healthy natural environment. A sedentary lifestyle has led to an increase in obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
Exercise is promoted to mitigate these risks, with exercise intensity considered the most critical element. Although physical activity and aerobic capacity are believed to protect against various morbidities through multiple pathways few people in developed countries are sufficiently physically active to derive health benefits. Recommendations call for engagement in moderate physical activity for about 30 minutes each day for most days.
There is no clear boundary on when physiological adaptation, which can be extreme in highly trained athletes especially endurance athletes , starts contributing to arrhythmogenesis or becomes pathologic. Excessive training stimulus without adequate recovery poses the risk of cumulative microscopic injury and right ventricular structural and functional remodeling, while ideal training stimulus with recovery causes physiological adaptation with balanced hypertrophy and little or no fibrosis of the athlete's heart.
