Prostate disease is a common disease among male friends and can cause cancer to some extent. A new study shows that walking fast for at least three hours per week can delay or even prevent the spread of prostate cancer.
Research has found that only fast walking can bring this effect. If prostate cancer patients walk at a relaxed pace, they cannot achieve this effect.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, studied 1455 men who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer but had not yet begun to spread.
The researchers evaluated the patient's physical activity two years after being diagnosed with cancer and receiving initial treatment. They found 117 cases of cancer cell recurrence, bone tumors, and death caused by prostate cancer. Patients who walked briskly for at least three hours per week experienced a 57% decrease in the rate of disease progression compared to patients who walked slowly and exercised less.
The study, published in the recently published journal Cancer Research, said its findings add new support to the theory that "regular exercise can combat many diseases, such as heart disease and certain cancers.".
Researchers point out that patients who engage in brisk walking after being diagnosed with the disease appear to be able to delay or even prevent the spread of the disease. Exercise can enhance resistance, and patients with prostate cancer may as well try this method.
