Breast cancer survivors should run more to decrease mortality risk
by The Daily Eye Team January 31 2014, 12:14 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 25 secsWashington: New research suggests that running may be more effective than walking in lowering breast cancer mortality risk.
Earlier studies have shown that following the current exercise recommendations of 2.5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity per week lowered the risk of dying from breast cancer by about 25 percent.
However, the latest study published in the International Journal of Cancer suggests that exceeding the recommendations may provide greater protection, and that running may be better than walking for breast cancer survivors.
