One session of exercise slows the spread of cancer by as much as 30 percent

One session of strenuous exercise can slow the spread of cancer by as much as 30 percent.

A 30-minute exercise class of high-intensity or resistance training dramatically slows the spread of cancer.  It increases levels of myokines, a protein produced by muscles which have anti-cancer effects and slow its spread.

A group of women had their myokine levels checked before and after a 30-minute strenuous exercise class by researchers from Edith Cowan University in Australia who estimated that the spread of cancer cells had slowed by between 20 and 30 percent.
