Abstract

While direct comparisons of exercise intensities are lacking, these results suggest that vigorous exercise training may exert greater immune modulation than low-to-moderate intensity exercise training. Rigorously designed trials are needed to confirm these findings and establish the role of exercise in oncologic care.
