OMG - I think this is the most important article I haven't read yet! Later today! Super thanks Max!

Also we have engaged on this topic previously Max - related to my post of my chat GPT prompt on the question of exercise and cancer:

I'm hoping to learn about this as much as possible. I've been trying to exercise a lot but I'm now running into how much I don't understand about exercise. I've crashed again. Is this anemia? Or adrenal insufficiency? Or overtraining? I need to learn more about recovery time. And then how to maintain blood serum levels of these wonderful myokines and exerkines while not over-exercising.

It's great when some of our best ammunition is something that is free and accessible to all! Have sent the link to several couch potatoes. 😊Happy New Year!

Thanks for posting this article. It's encouraging to know exercise could help suppress tumor growth and re-occurrence.

Cumulatively, the current literature on prostate cancer appears promising, with significant and clinically meaningful alterations of circulating factors and tumor suppressive effects. Regarding the acute bout of exercise, investigations examining HIIT and MICT from moderate to high intensity (i.e., 50%–65% VO2max, 50%–90% Pmax, 70%–85% HRmax) for 60 min resulted in suppressive effects on cancer cell growth and proliferation.20,48,59,65 In short-term training (i.e., 11 days), a 30- to 60-min MICT at 70%–85% VO2max at least 4 days a week reduced cancer cell growth and increased apoptosis, with systemic changes induced by long-term training (i.e., 10 years) having cancer suppressive effects.18,21,66,67 Lastly, HIIT alone and RT coupled with HIIT or MICT showed inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth and proliferation in chronic interventions when performed at a moderate to high intensity (i.e., 6–12 RM, RPE > 3, 85%–95% VO2max) for at least 9 weeks, 3 days a week.45,46,59,69
