Abstract

Abstract : Apply It!: Recommendations for incorporating HIIT for cancer survivors are made. Contraindications for exercise training for cancer survivors also are made. Abstract : Based on the currently available evidence, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) training is safe, tolerable, and effective as part of a comprehensive cancer rehabilitation program. Incorporating HIIT should be tailored to the individual based on their goals and current level of fitness.
