Can kidney cancer patients do strenuous exercise?

Kidney cancer patients cannot do strenuous exercise such as jogging, mountain climbing, playing ball, martial arts, etc., which are not suitable for cancer. Cancer patients are physically weak and cannot do strenuous exercise. Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the urinary tubule epithelial system of the renal parenchyma. The full academic name is renal cell carcinoma, also known as renal adenocarcinoma, or simply kidney cancer.

Physical exercise is one of the most active and effective means to enhance physical fitness. With the improvement of people's living standards and cultural quality, "everyone has a desire for beauty". We should thrive in sports and stay healthy in sports. So what kind of exercises can kidney cancer patients do?

Kidney strengthening exercises

Kidney strengthening exercises are suitable for patients who can get out of bed and exercise after kidney cancer surgery. They can be divided into 4 steps:

1. Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart. Look at the tip of your nose, let your arms hang naturally, place your palms on the seams of your pants, and spread your fingers naturally. Lift your heels and breathe for 9 consecutive times without touching the ground.

2. Inhale again, slowly bend your knees and squat down, gradually turn the backs of your hands forward, with your knuckles facing your ankles. When your hands are close to the ground, clench them into fists with a little force (as if you are grabbing something), and inhale deeply.

3. Hold your breath, gradually stand up, let your hands hang down, and gradually clench them.

4. Exhale, stand upright, twist your arms outward, point your fists forward, squeeze your soft ribs with your elbows from both sides, and lift your body and heels upward. The above steps can be repeated several times.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese health-preserving exercise, which is characterized by being upright, comfortable, light, flexible, soft, slow and even, and orderly opening and closing. Tai Chi exercises are both natural and elegant. The key is that the waist is the pivot of the exercise and the movements are slow, which is very suitable for kidney cancer patients in the recovery period.

Sit-ups

Sit-ups are suitable for patients with good wound healing and sufficient physical strength. During the exercise, the patient lies on the bed (preferably a wooden bed) with legs together and straight, without using hands to support, and only uses the waist strength to sit up, with hands on the waist, thumbs in front, four fingers behind, and sit up and sit down 15 times in a row. If the elderly find it difficult to do it, they can reduce the amount.

Exercise is very helpful for the strong development of our body. After all, patients may have phobias and fear that they are being afflicted with diseases, so they must pay attention to their bodies. Keeping yourself in good health is the most important thing!
