Normandie Sporte contre le Cancer – Adapted Games 2024!

The positive impacts of the APA intervene in the 3 levels of cancer prevention allowing:

• limit the appearance of the disease (primary prevention)
• fight against the adverse effects of the disease and its treatments (secondary prevention)
• limit the risks of recurrence (tertiary prevention)

The goal is therefore to raise public awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and to provide information on the benefits of physical activity in preventing cancer. Practicing appropriate physical activity on a regular basis is essential. According to studies carried out on certain types of cancer, appropriate physical activity in cancer patients reduces fatigue (30%), improves quality of life, or even reduces the risk of recurrence (up to 40%).
