Physical activity has been associated with lower risk of several types of cancer. However, the type of physical activity and its optimum volume to reduce the risk of cancer is unknown. Recent epidemiological studies has suggested a protective effect of strength training on cancer prevention. This project of scientific iniciation aims to synthesize and evaluate the epidemiological evidence…
The objectives of this post-doctoral project are (1) to estimate the effect of different types, intensities and periods of life of physical activity on the risk of cancer; (2) to evaluate the costs of the Brazilian public health system with the treatment of cancers that could potentially be saved by increasing physical activity. For the first objective of the project, we will use data fro…
Purpose: To investigate the current evidence on the association between physical inactivity and cancer incidence/mortality (Study 1) and the impact of this relationship on public health in Brazil (Studies 2 and 3). Methods: Study 1: we will performe a review (overview) of systematic reviews through a search on 5 databases with descriptors related to exposure ("physical inactivity") and ou…
