The seven-year study found that men (54) walked or cycled for at least 30minutes a day had a 34 percent lower (55) of dying from cancer than the men who did less exercise or nothing at all. (56) the period studied, 3,714 men developed cancer and 1,153 died from the disease.

Lead author, Professor Alicja Wolk, said:“These results clearly show for the first Time the effect that very simple and basic daily (60) such as walking or cycling has in reducing cancer death risk in middle-aged and elderly (61).”
Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: “This study gives us a clear indication that men who exercise are less (62) to die from cancer, and that they are more likely to (63) the disease if they get it. It’s
