A total of 40 oncological patients from Móstoles and the southern area of Madrid are participating in the 'Oncological Physical Exercise Unit – Southwest Space' initiative. The program, developed by the Department of Sports and Health of the Móstoles City Council in conjunction with the Spanish Association Against Cancer of Madrid, aims to promote health and well-being through adapted physical activity.
The mayor of Móstoles, Manuel Bautista, accompanied by the Councilor for Sports and Health, Ángel Álvarez, visited the physical exercise sessions taking place at the Villafontana Sports Center from Monday to Friday mornings.
“"With this initiative, we want to stand by people going through an oncological process, providing them with resources that contribute to improving their well-being and quality of life. Thanks to the collaboration with the Spanish Association Against Cancer, Móstoles has a specialized program that benefits and supports not only our residents but also patients from all over the southern area of Madrid."
Adapted physical exercise offers numerous benefits, including improved strength and muscle mass preservation, reduced cancer-related fatigue, enhanced cardiorespiratory capacity, support for bone health, and promotion of metabolic health, impacting both physical and emotional well-being.
The program is characterized by being safe, individualized, and supervised. Each participant undergoes an initial assessment, and sessions are tailored to their specific needs, clinical situation, and functional capacity.
