Can patients with colorectal cancer do strenuous exercise?

After patients are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, they must actively cooperate with doctors' treatment. In addition to treatment, patients also need to pay attention to many things in life. Can colorectal cancer patients do strenuous exercise? The answer is definitely no. What should colorectal cancer patients pay attention to when exercising? Let's take a look at the introduction below.

Exercise also has its own rules and principles. You can't just do it randomly just because it's beneficial. The main point of thousands of years of exercise experience is to "do it within your ability" and "be comfortable". During the recovery period of cancer patients, physical exercise should be based on the disease itself and the patient's physical condition. They should choose targeted exercise items and methods, proceed step by step, and persist.

When it comes to exercise, some people still have a misunderstanding, and immediately think of intense and vigorous sports, such as running, playing ball, and various activities in the gym that make people sweat. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Cancer patients should not participate in excessive and vigorous exercise. In physical exercise, you must control the amount of exercise. After exercise, the body feels warm, slightly sweaty, without fatigue, and the body and mind feel relaxed and comfortable, and the appetite and sleep are good, which means that the exercise is appropriate. Otherwise, the amount of exercise should be adjusted to keep the body and mind in the best state to facilitate recovery.

Before taking part in physical exercise, you should ask a doctor to check your body thoroughly and fully understand yourself. Then, according to your own situation, you can choose the sports that you like and are suitable for you. During physical exercise, you should be good at self-awareness of adverse reactions and have regular physical examinations so as to improve your training methods. If you encounter a rise in body temperature, a recurrence of the disease, or a tendency to bleed in certain parts of your body, it is best to stop physical exercise to avoid accidents.

To develop the habit of persisting in physical exercise, you must be prepared for a "protracted war". You must make a long-term plan based on your actual situation and proceed step by step. Never try to get up a few days earlier and exercise a few days later, and miracles will happen. There is an old Chinese saying, "haste makes waste", so don't rush. This is also a question of will. Exercise requires willpower and is also a process of willpower training.

We must overcome the problem of "three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets" and prevent giving up halfway and wasting all previous efforts. For cancer patients, the recovery period is a relatively long period of time. Exercise should be done step by step, starting with a small intensity of exercise and gradually reaching a moderate level. Pay attention to arranging the intervals between exercises reasonably, combining work and rest, and combining movement and stillness. Exercise 34 times a week, or once is better. In short, do what you can.
