The general recommendation for exercise to achieve cancer prevention benefits is 150 to 300 minutes per week, with benefits plateauing after 300 minutes.

“it seems as though people that let's say do have a family history of cancer would really benefit from knowing this information as well as their Physicians that they you know speak with because you would imagine someone with a family history would want to hit the top end of that you know recommendation right and so and not the the minimum so you often only hear the minimum when hearing recommendations which I don't I don't think I think that's kind of you know a problem to be honest I think we should be talking about more of the upper end especially if you're getting a dose response and people really do want to get and maximize their their benefits”

“so the general recommendation is actually 150 to 300 minutes so you know 150 we kind of VI as the minimum to getting these benefits and then those benefits will continue to crew up to about 300 minutes and then the curves kind of plateau after that”

“yeah so what we see in the cancer prevention literature is there is a dose response Association as we say so that means the more exercise you do the greater the risk reduction”

“we do find that exercise lowers the risk of developing some of these cancers even in those who have a family history”

“the genetic um stuff we haven't seen quite as much evidence yet um you know the the bracka jees you talked about there is like an 80% chance of getting breast cancer and very high with ovarian and some of these other ones so you're almost on a kind of genetic trajectory that would be very hard to stop you know with a lifestyle change so I haven't seen as much evidence there suggesting that it can be beneficial for those patients”
