“Exercise as Medicine”, published in The Province, discusses the importance of exercise in the treatment regime of cancer patients.
Don McKenzie, UBC School of Kinesiology Sports Medicine professor, exercise physiologist, and director of the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Clinic, is quoted in the article.
Don says of exercise, “Physical activity has been overlooked and underutilized in the management of patients with cancer. Fortunately exercise is gaining some traction in the health care professions; physical activity should be standard of care.”
