Men who run, swim and cycle could be cutting their risk of nine types of cancer, according to a new study. Men with good cardiorespiratory fitness are less likely to develop cancers of the head and neck, stomach, pancreas, liver, bowel, rectum, kidney, lung and oesophagus, researchers found.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is a person’s ability to do aerobic exercises, which includes activities such as running, cycling and swimming for sustained periods, or even to climb the stairs.
