Abstract
Abstract
Oncological patients should engage in physical activities during the entire period of medical treatment and aftercare taking into account the contraindications. Therapeutic exercises should be customized, according to the individuals’ cancer entity, medical side effects, and exercise experience—personalized exercise therapy. After medical treatment, cancer patients in Germany have a legal right to visit an oncological rehabilitation clinic. In addition, they have the opportunity to attend a rehabilitative sports group, which is funded by the health insurance companies. The aim of therapeutic exercises in the curative and palliative phase is prevention of negative physical and psychological consequences. The aim of therapeutic exercises in the rehabilitation phase is physical and mental recovery as well as psychosocial stabilization or improvement. During aftercare, cancer patients should also be encouraged to engage in home-based programs; however, these are not as effective as supervised therapy. Future studies must consider aspects of training control, specific assessments and exercise programs for palliative patients.
