We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of VO2max for health and longevity. Luckily improving it doesn’t have to complicated or time-consuming. Even practical stair climbing “snacks” can boost aerobic fitness - but are they sustainable? https://t.co/3Clu1itYqF

A must read 📊 Exercise capacity is a more powerful predictor of mortality among men than other established risk factors for cardiovascular disease. https://t.co/ZxKT5aMfN1

Do apps improve our lifestyle? New research shows that apps: ⬆️1329 steps/d ⬆️MVPA 55min/wk ⬆️Total PA 45min/wk ⬆️Fruit+veg 0.5 serve/d ⬆️Sleep ⬇️Sedentary time −426min/wk ⬇️Energy intake −103cals/d ⬇️Fat consumption −5.5g/d ⬇️Bodyweight −1.9kg https://t.co/iPaFVa6ntc

This is the most important point in our editorial. Why: A survivorship program should be a system of care that works in tandem with the patients cancer care plan. There is FAR too much evidence to support this prospective survivorship approach, it is inadequate for us to

Exercise and wellness have lots of advantages for people with cancer – before, during and after treatment. The Canadian Cancer Society is proud to fund a wide range of research projects focused on encouraging exercise to improve the well-being of people living with or beyond

Have you ever wished that implementation was more predictable, instead of feeling like a rollercoaster ride? 🎢 Which makes us appreciate this #Sketchnote by @mounika_2000!

Relaxing is not the only way to recharge. Finding meaning is a source of fuel. A restorative break doesn't just avoid tasks that burn you out. It adds people and projects that fire you up. Detaching from stress prevents exhaustion. Attaching to purpose elevates energy.

NEW PUBLICATION: How can we effectively use mobile #apps to promote long-term #physicalactivity habits among individuals living with and beyond #cancer? Check out what our participants had to say after using an app for 6 months! https://t.co/ghDgNRp4Ax

Great study digging into association of #exercise with pan-cancer incidence. Reduced risk in some, but not all cancers, and different exercise doses required (breast: 4+; lung: 2-3 hrs/wk) @jessicalavs @ChayaSMoskowitz

Congratulations to @Arthritis_ARC Senior Scientist @cheryl_barnabe on her new appointment as the new director of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health. It is a well-deserved recognition of her skills, achievements and contributions to rheumatology. 🎉#ArthritisResearch

We are thrilled to start our next chapter with Dr. Cheryl Barnabe, MD, MSc’11, as she steps into her new role as the director of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health. As we ring in the new year, we eagerly anticipate the initiatives Dr. Barnabe will spearhead.

Unpopular opinion: We overlook the biopsychosocial pain model and conservative pain management too often w/cancer and cancer treatment-related pain and dive right to pharma mgmt. Hx of cancer or current cancer tx + pain = red flags, but once we rule out the nasty stuff...there

Happy to share that I’m starting a NEW Postdoctoral Associate position with the McCaig Bone and Joint Health Institute and the AHS Bone and Joint Health team (Dr. Claire Barber, Dr. Ania Kania-Richmond)! I'll be working to keep Albertans moving throughout life! 🦴🏃‍♂️🎉

This #NationalPainAwarenessWeek, we recognize the contributions of Dr. Linda Carlson for cancer care in Alberta - helping patients navigate the challenges of cancer, including pain management. Read about her work in our LEAP Magazine: https://t.co/9rJqAlsitU

Scientists name 8 measures that can slow ageing by up to six years https://t.co/38Vckz50Ni by @andrewgregory Yep, it's the basics. No magical bro-tech longevity BS. Exercise. Eat healthy. Sleep. Don't smoke. Healthy weight. Manage blood pressure, cholesteral, blood sugar.

Muscle and bone are closely linked. Age-related loss of muscle (sarcopenia) and bone (osteoporosis) are both independently related to loss of physical function and independence into older age. Great review by @csmithAEP and colleagues showcasing the many links between muscle

Medical oncologist @mskrasovitsky routinely checks - step count 🚶‍♂️ - timed up and go 💺 in all geriatric Oncology patients. This is a fantastic first step to look at functional deficits, and plan for #ExerciseOncology intervention #COSA23 @COSAoncology

25% of cancer death is cancers of the lung yet only 6% of cancer research dollars are directed to lung cancer. If you have lungs - you can get lung cancer! #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #lcam @LungCancer_Can
