Welcome to the Cancer Fitness Clubcast with Mike Grisenthwaite
Joining Mike today is Professor Robert Newton (PhD, DSc)
Professor Robert is a globally recognised leader in exercise medicine and exercise oncology, and a Professor at the Exercise Medicine Research Institute at Edith Cowan University. With over 950 scientific publications and more than $45 million in research funding, his work pioneers the use of exercise as a targeted therapy for cancer.
He is also the author of My Exercise Medicine for Cancer, Professor Newton champions the concept that precisely prescribed exercise is powerful medicine for improving treatment outcomes and quality of life.
Mike and Robert explore how exercise is reshaping the future of cancer treatment. As a global leader in exercise oncology, he shares the science behind using movement as targeted therapy, not just for recovery, but as a core component of treatment itself.
From preserving muscle mass during chemotherapy to enhancing the effectiveness of immunotherapy, Professor Newton breaks down why early, personalised exercise interventions can significantly improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
This episode challenges outdated perceptions of rest during treatment and highlights how precision exercise is becoming an essential pillar of modern cancer care.
