Previous research has shown that people can improve their cardiovascular fitness levels by up to 16% per year.
More than 52,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year and around 12,000 die from it each year. This equates to one of his 45 minutes.
Simon Grieveson, assistant director of Prostate Cancer Research UK, said the study “adds to previous research showing a possible link between exercise and a reduced chance of developing prostate cancer. “
“Staying healthy and eating a balanced diet on a regular basis is good for everyone’s overall health and well-being. However, physical activity may increase a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer, or It is not clear whether it can reduce the risk of death from cancer.
“The earlier prostate cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat,” Grieveson added.
Prostate cancer is more common in men over 50, black men over 45, and men with a family history of prostate cancer.
There are often no symptoms in the early stages, and treatment is possible at this stage.
Symptoms only tend to occur when the tumor grows large and puts pressure on the tubes that carry urine from the bladder, which can result in frequent trips to the bathroom, a feeling of not completely emptying, and a slowdown in urine flow. Symptoms such as weakness occur.
All of these symptoms are also common in prostate patients with enlarged prostates, which King Charles was treated for this week.
Matt Lambert, Health Information and Advancement Manager at the World Cancer Research Fund, said:
He added: “This year’s Cancer Prevention Action Week, which starts on February 19, we encourage people to take short bursts throughout the day to increase their physical activity levels and start feeling the benefits, including becoming healthier and reducing their risk of cancer. We call on the people to carry out these activities.” cancer. “
The study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, was led by the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences GIH in Stockholm and carried out by several universities across Sweden.
