| Being fit earlier in life is associated with a reduced risk, in some cases of up to 42%, of developing nine different types of cancer in later life, according to a large long-term study. |
| The new study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, drew from data from more than 1 million male Swedish conscripts between 16 and 25, who were followed for an average of 33 years from 1968 to 2005. The results suggested that good cardiorespiratory fitness – an individual’s ability to engage in sustained aerobic exercises such as running, cycling, and swimming – was associated with a 42% reduced risk of lung cancer, a 40% reduced risk of liver cancer and a 39% reduced risk of oesophageal cancer. |
| It was also associated with a lower risk of head and neck, stomach, pancreatic bowel and kidney cancer. |
| Reducing cancer risk is not the only reason to exercise. There are compound benefits across emotional health and preventing cardiovascular disease. The lead researcher, Dr Aron Onerup, said “some physical activity is better than none, that more physical activity is better for optimal health outcomes”, and emphasised that it is never too late to get fit to reap health protective benefits. |
| As for how much exercise, Dr Claire Knight, senior health information manager at Cancer Research UK, recommended 150 minutes of exercise a week, but said: “You don’t need to run a marathon or join a gym – anything that gets you warmer, slightly out of breath, and your heart beating faster counts. |
| "It doesn’t matter if you go for a brisk walk, a cycle with a friend, or even get the housework done, these could all count as ways to be active.” |
