Abstract

The Oncological Physical Exercise Unit (UEFO) of the province of Alicante, was created by the Spanish Association Against Cancer and Kinetic Performance (EBT of the University of Alicante) with the aim of promoting healthcare, educational and research activities focused on the benefits of physical exercise in oncological disease and its impact on the quality of life of patients, and together with the better tolerance of oncological treatments. The Unit is made up of members of the GICAFD research group of the University of Alicante and professionals with professional experience in different areas of health and physical exercise.
