About CANFit
CANFit has been adapted from previous digital programs to provide those who have had a diagnosis of lung, bowel, and breast cancer access to tailored exercise prescriptions, bringing together academics and clinicians’ expertise guided by the latest research. The website also offers high-quality modules covering educational, motivational, and self-management resources grounded with a solid evidence base.
Over the next two or three weeks, we recommend logging in and engaging with the website at least once per week to receive feedback. This will allow you to get the most out of the website.
Why was it made?
Exercise has been shown to have many benefits for those living with and beyond cancer, including improving quality of life and increasing survival rates. However, it is important to note that exercise programs must be tailored to the individual. Our team understands the importance of exercise for individuals living with and beyond lung, breast, and bowel cancer. It has adapted this website from previous studies exploring tailored exercise programs for those living with and beyond breast, bowel, and lung cancer.
