🎗️🏃‍♀️ Can exercise become part of cancer care?

The answer is yes. Scientific evidence shows that properly prescribed physical activity can help people living with and beyond cancer to better cope with treatments, reduce fatigue, improve physical function, and enhance quality of life.

That’s why the Erasmus+ ECOLE Project has developed an Advanced Training Course in Exercise Oncology, designed to train professionals who can safely support cancer patients through adapted physical activity programmes.

💡 The course will provide knowledge on:
✅ Cancer treatments and their effects on the body
✅ Exercise prescription for different cancer types
✅ Rehabilitation and supportive care
✅ Nutrition, psychology, and patient motivation
✅ Working within multidisciplinary healthcare teams

🌍 Developed by universities, hospitals, and research centres from Italy, France, and Romania, this programme is helping build a future where exercise is recognized as an important ally in cancer care.

Together, we are promoting a healthier, more active, and more supportive future for people affected by cancer. 💙

🎙️✨ From Vision to Action: The Philosophy Behind ECOLE
We are proud to see the core values of the Erasmus+ ECOLE Project reflected in the insights shared by Stefano Magno, Scientific Coordinator of ECOLE, through the TEDxSapienzaU platform.

💡 At the heart of ECOLE is a simple yet powerful belief: exercise should not be seen merely as a lifestyle recommendation, but as an essential component of supportive cancer care.
As highlighted by Stefano Magno, the future of oncology requires an increasingly multidisciplinary approach—one that addresses not only the disease itself, but also the physical, psychological, and social wellbeing of people living with and beyond cancer.

🎗️ ECOLE’s mission is to:
✅ Promote evidence-based Exercise Oncology
✅ Strengthen collaboration between healthcare and exercise professionals
✅ Develop specialized skills and dedicated training pathways
✅ Support the integration of physical activity into cancer care pathways
✅ Improve quality of life and survivorship outcomes

📚 Scientific evidence continues to demonstrate that appropriately prescribed exercise can play a vital role throughout the entire cancer journey.
Through ECOLE, we are transforming evidence into knowledge, professional competencies, and practical tools that support healthcare systems across Europe. 🇪🇺
👏 Congratulations to Stefano Magno for continuing to raise awareness of a topic that is becoming increasingly important for the future of cancer care.
