A new study from Edith Cowan University has found that just 30 minutes of vigorous exercise, whether it's high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or resistance training, could trigger a rise in certain proteins that may help the body defend itself against cancer.
Blood samples taken before, immediately after, and 30 minutes post-exercise showed an increase in myokine levels. In lab conditions, these proteins slowed cancer cell growth by 20 to 30%.
