Breast cancer patients are more likely to benefit from Nordic walking – a type of aerobic exercise that is performed with the help of specially designed walking poles – than basic walking, according to a study.
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women, which is likely to affect an estimate of 12.8 percent women in the world, according to the National Cancer Institute.
The study, published in the European Journal of Cancer Care earlier this month, analyzed the results of nine past studies about the health benefits of this aerobic activity and how it is more effective than other forms of exercises.
