EM178: BRESCIA - Exercise Medicine

Professor Robert Newton, PhD, DSc, AEP, CSCS * D, FACSM, FESSA, FNSCA is Professor of Exercise Medicine in the Exercise Medicine Research Institute that he established (2004) at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia. Current major clinical and research directions include: exercise medicine as neoadjuvant, adjuvant and rehabilitative cancer therapy to reduce side-effects and enhance effectiveness of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy; the influence of targeted exercise medicine on tumor biology and exercise medicine for reducing decline in quality of life, strength, body composition and functional ability in cancer patients.
 
Is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, Fellow of Exercise and Sports Science Australia, Member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Sports Medicine and Clinical Oncology Society of Australia. In 2018 he received the career achievement award from the Cancer Council WA. In 2019, Professor Newton was named the Western Australian Scientist of the Year. In 2021, The University of Queensland awarded Professor Newton a Higher Doctorate (DSc) for his research into exercise oncology.

Has published over 980 scientific papers including 502 refereed scientific journal articles, 450 conference abstracts and papers, three books, 17 book chapters and has a current Scopus h-Index of 88 with his work by him being cited over 26,500 times.
 
Exercise medicine is now established as a highly effective therapy for reducing side effects of cancer treatment, enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, improving physical function and quality of life for people with cancer, and ultimately increasing survival.

In the first day Professor Newton will focus on the principles of exercise prescription and the mechanisms by which targeted exercise influences tumor biology. The application of exercise medicine within cancer management across various cancers, surgery and treatments will be explored in detail.
On the second day, he will focus will be on practical implementation of an exercise medicine service for cancer patients. Health and fitness assessment of patients with cancer will be explored in detail with practical examples. Targeted exercise therapy to address the predominant health issues presented by patients with cancer will be discussed with practical demonstrations. The day will finish with a series of case studies and real-world scenarios.
