TITLE: The Role of Resistance Exercise in Cancer Care
PRESENTER: Ciaran Fairman, PhD; University of South Carolina
BRIEF SUMMARY
This seminar explores the emerging role of resistance exercise in cancer care, focusing on its potential to enhance physical function, mitigate treatment side effects, and improve overall quality of life for cancer patients and survivors. Attendees will learn about the physiological and psychological benefits of resistance training, including its impact on muscle mass, strength, and fatigue reduction. The discussion will also cover evidence-based guidelines for designing safe and effective resistance exercise programs tailored to individual needs during and after cancer treatment.

TITLE: Creating High-Quality and Effective Cancer Rehabilitation Programs: Lessons from a Decade of Success
PRESENTER: Jessica M. Brown, PhD; Carroll University
BRIEF SUMMARY
During this webinar we will discuss the importance of adhering to core exercise principles —individuality, progressive overload, specificity, and reversibility. Likewise, the integration of behavior change strategies are necessary to foster long-term self-efficacy, ensuring patients maintain exercise habits after program completion. A phased rehabilitation model (Brown’s Phase Program) ensures systematic progression, guiding patients from initial stabilization to long-term independent exercise adherence. This structure enhances program efficacy, optimizes patient outcomes, and increases adherence to exercise beyond the formal rehabilitation setting. We will provide actionable strategies to refine cancer rehabilitation programs, ultimately improving patient care and advancing the field toward broader medical integration and insurance reimbursement.

DATE: 8 May 2025
TITLE: Oncology Prehabilitation: A Paradigm Shift in Patient Preparation for Clinical Exercise Physiologists
PRESENTER: Daniel Santa Mina, PhD; University of Toronto
BRIEF SUMMARY
During this presentation we will explore the transformative role of prehabilitation in clinical exercise physiology, offering a comprehensive look at its evidence-based foundations, program development strategies, and practical guidelines. Attendees will gain insights into recent meta-analyses demonstrating prehabilitation's efficacy in improving postoperative outcomes across various patient populations. The session will provide guidance to designing and implementing tailored prehabilitation programs, including strategies for integration into existing care pathways and overcoming common barriers.
