Event Information

Exercise, when prescribed as part of cancer care (exercise medicine), is a safe and effective adjunct therapy for breast cancer patients. It helps manage treatment side effects, improve physical function, and enhance overall quality of life. Recent studies suggest that regular exercise may be associated with a lower risk of cancer recurrence. Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are qualified to design and implement personalised exercise programs for individuals with breast cancer, and we are fortunate to have highly credentialled AEPs from ECU’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute delivering tailored, online exercise programs over 6 progressive weekly sessions. Choose from the Introductory program, or the Intermediate program based on your current fitness. Note that a Health History Form is required before registration, and if you have bone metastases, a Medical Clearance is required.
