While any type of activity reduces risk, the significance of muscle mass in a cancer suppressing environment may make regular resistance training particularly powerful, says Professor Rob Newton, the deputy director of Edith Cowan University’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute.

He adds that physical activity has a “huge influence” over the functionality of the immune system. “When you have a more effective, more surveillant system that can identify and destroy those precancerous cells, they never progress to a malignancy.”
