Suryeon Ryu, doctoral student in the School of Kinesiology and member of the Physical Activity Epidemiology Laboratory (PAEL), has published an article, “Chinese breast cancer survivors’ functional fitness, biomarkers, and physical activity determinants and behaviors: A descriptive study,” in the journal Brain Behavior and Immunity Integrative. Ryu’s study aimed to investigate significant predictors for physical activity and cancer biomarkers of Chinese breast cancer survivors, as well as whether differences existed in physical activity adherence and body mass index (BMI). Ryu and colleagues found several meaningful predictors physical activity and cancer biomarkers which would benefit healthier cancer survivorship.
