Summary:

This book explores the role of physical activity as a non-pharmacological intervention in oncology care. It provides a comprehensive examination of the epidemiology of oncological diseases, the biological and physiological changes caused by tumors, and the long-term impacts of oncology treatments. The text highlights the benefits of physical activity in improving patients' quality of life, both during and after cancer treatment, and offers detailed guidelines for movement interventions tailored to different stages of cancer. The book also presents research findings on the efficacy of physical exercise in cancer remission and survivorship, supported by statistical data and case studies. Aimed at medical professionals, researchers, and caregivers, the book seeks to establish physical activity as a critical component of oncology care, addressing a gap in Czech-language resources on the subject.
