AB Physical activity reduces the risk of breast cancer, not only in moderate activities but also in intensive ones as well, on condition that they are practised regularly. This is for pre-menopausal women and specially, for post-menopausal ones, even if they are included in risk groups such as nulliparous, obese ones and HRT users. Physical exercise has also a protective effect on every studied ethnics (white, afroamerican and assiatic ones) with similar prevalence. High levels of estrogens are risk factors in breast cancer. Obesity is the main cause of the increase of circulating estrogens. Regular physical activity, apart from other factors, such as reduction in insulin resistance and immune system stimulation, are considered to be effective in reducing such a risk. In addition, it has been observed that practising any other type of physical activity improves quality of life, functionality and well-being in women that already suffer this type of cancer and in those who are put under the protocol of cancer treatment. Besides, a big reduction in recurrence and an improvement in prognosis have been registered, in rates of tumor survival.
