AB  - The  most  common  types  of  colorectal  cancers  are  adenocarcinomas  and  primary  lymphomas.  Adenocarcinomas  begin  in  the  mucosa  of  the  colon  and  extend  into  the  bowel  wall.  Progression  of  the  disease  affects  the  lymph  nodes  of  the  region,  thus  leading  to  metastases  of  the  tumor.  Surgical  removal  of  the  tumor  by  adjuvant  chemotherapy  is  the  most  common  treatment.  Survival  rates  of  clients  diminish  when  the  disease  progresses  to  the  lymph  nodes.  Physical  inactivity  has  been  identified  as  a  significant  risk  factor  for  developing  colorectal  cancer.1,2  Clients  who  develop  this  condition  may  already  have  limited  endurance  from  a  sedentary  lifestyle.
