Cancer is amongst the leading causes of death worldwide. A total of 19.3 million new cases were diagnosed in
2020. Cardiovascular impairment is the second leading cause of death in patients undergoing cancer treatment. By measuring the maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max) in cancer patients, it is possible to estimate their cardiorespiratory
health. This study aims to show how participants’ VO2max increases with a therapeutic physical exercise programme.
