Research interests
Dr. Culos-Reed, PhD, and her team in the Health and Wellness Lab are working to bridge the gap between cancer exercise research and clinical practice by developing programs to include exercise assessment, prescription and education as part of standard cancer care. Working with community partners and healthcare providers, the lab has developed a variety of exercise and wellness-related programs and services to benefit cancer survivors and their families.
Exercise programs for cancer
Exercise programs are available for those who have and are recovering from cancer. They are currently available online. To learn more, contact us at wellnesslab@ucalgary.ca.
