  • There is a growing scientifically supported trend toward understanding physical exercise as a therapy for combating cancer. The objective of this article is to provide a new perspective on oncological physical exercise, relating training variables to the overall cancer situation. Currently, one of the most important trends in sports performance and health is precision physical training, one of the most effective tools for successful implementation of a rigorous and scientific training method. In addition to the above, physical training methods stem from dogmas or theories applied in different sports disciplines and with different populations. For this reason, it has become necessary to understand that there is variation in the individual response of each person to a given physical exercise. Variables such as correct load, number of repetitions, optimal recovery time, speed of execution, correct posture based on biomechanics, and the amplitude of these depending on anthropometry, are similar to the individual biochemistry of each human being. This work aims to promote and support precision physical training in cancer patients, as a new trend to make the survival of our population a reality.
