PRESENTER: Ciaran Fairman, PhD; University of South Carolina
BRIEF SUMMARY
This seminar explores the emerging role of resistance exercise in cancer care, focusing on its potential to enhance physical function, mitigate treatment side effects, and improve overall quality of life for cancer patients and survivors. Attendees will learn about the physiological and psychological benefits of resistance training, including its impact on muscle mass, strength, and fatigue reduction. The discussion will also cover evidence-based guidelines for designing safe and effective resistance exercise programs tailored to individual needs during and after cancer treatment.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand the physiological benefits of resistance exercise for cancer patients and survivors, including improvements in muscle strength and physical function.
- Explore evidence-based guidelines for safely implementing resistance exercise programs tailored to individual cancer treatment stages and recovery.
- Gain insights into the latest research on resistance training as part of an integrative cancer care approach.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Dr. Fairman’s primary research focus is examining the impact of exercise, nutrition and supplementation interventions during and after cancer treatments. The purpose of this research is to see if we can prevent or reduce the side effects experienced with cancer and its treatments. Specific research areas include the manipulation of dose, frequency, volume or intensity of exercise to optimize clinically relevant outcomes in cancer patients; resistance training across the cancer continuum; and nutrition/supplementation to augment training adaptations.
Videoconference information will be provided in an email once registration is complete.
