Those seeking a mesothelioma claim may feel they do not have the energy to exercise regularly depending on the symptoms they are experiencing from the disease and their treatment. However, according to scientists at the Duke University School of Medicine in the USA life expectancy is strongly linked to the fitness level of cancer patients.
After a mesothelioma or other asbestos-related disease diagnosis, many sufferers stop exercising as their energy levels and strength begins to decline. According to Lee Jones PhD, scientific director of the Duke University School of Medicine, patients can improve their energy levels, mood, mental acuity, sleep patterns, breathing and general life quality through appropriate exercise.
Fitness levels in lung cancer patients are 30 to 40% lower than average healthy adults. While there will be days when exercise is not practical due to treatments, mesothelioma sufferers should be able to enjoy short periods of gentle exercise, such as walking and swimming, regularly.
Resistance training can also be added to help improve strength through the use of light weights which can be increased in weight gradually. The aim is to build up to 30 minutes of exercise, five days a week which can be completed in 30 non consecutive minutes.
However, before commencing any form of exercise, patients should always consult their physicians to ensure that they find a suitable fitness programme tailored to suit their individual ability and needs.
