Nearly 120 people gathered at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Cancer Center<\/a> on October 17 for a free public workshop highlighting the benefits of physical activity during and after cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

The “Let\u2019s Move! The Importance of Physical Activity in the Cancer Journey” event featured hula, stretching and strengthening exercises designed for people of all fitness levels, including those who preferred to participate while seated. N\u0101 W\u0101hine Hula \u02bb\u0100kala, a hula h\u0101lau of cancer survivors, led participants through basic hula movements, while experts from the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Cancer Center and REHAB<\/abbr> Hospital of the Pacific shared research on how exercise can help manage cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, depression and other challenges.<\/p>\n

“Depression and anxiety are common during the cancer journey, and exercise has been shown to actually improve that as well,” said 糖心视频<\/abbr> Cancer Center Associate Professor Jami Fukui.<\/p>\n

Presented by the center\u2019s Susan C. Hirano Cancer CARE<\/abbr> Community and ʻOhana Pink programs during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the workshop emphasized that movement can support physical and emotional well-being throughout the cancer journey.
