J physical: high intensity intermittent exercise or a panacea for colorectal cancer!

March 3, 2019 / BIOON / - a new study published in the Journal of physiology shows that exercise can delay the growth of colon cancer cells This study found that after short-term high intensity interval training (HIIT), the growth of colon cancer cells will slow down, which will increase the inflammatory signal Photo source: http://cn.bing.com for a long time, people focused on the positive effects of long-term exercise on the body But the study shows that a short period of HIIT can also have a positive effect on the body Changes after HIIT suggest that repeated, short-term, high-intensity exercise may help fight cancer These results highlight the importance of regular training and maintaining a lifestyle of exercise The study, conducted jointly by researchers from the University of Queensland and the University of Waterloo, involved colon cancer survivors who completed HIIT once or nearly 12 times in four weeks The researchers took blood samples and analyzed them to study the growth of colon cancer cells after they completed one HIIT or 12 HIIT It is very important to simulate the growth of colon cancer cells in the human body in the laboratory, so we need to verify these results in the future research James Devin, the lead author of the study, said: "we have found that exercise plays an important role in inhibiting the growth of colon cancer cells After an acute HIIT, the level of exercise-induced inflammation rose immediately, which may be the reason for the slow growth of cancer cells This suggests that the lifestyle of exercise may be an important way to fight human colon cancer We are now studying how these changes occur, trying to understand which biomarkers in the blood will affect cell growth and the underlying biological mechanism " Reference: James L Devin et al, actual high intensity interval exercise reduces colon cancer cell growth, the Journal of physiology (2019) Doi: 10.1113/jp277648
