This review found that combining muscle-strengthening with aerobic activities significantly lowered the total cancer mortality. Compared to no exercise, cancer mortality was reduced by about 30%.

Comment: This review looked at 12 studies, and only 3 out of these 12 addressed the combination of aerobics and muscle strengthening exercises. Nevertheless, the findings are highly plausible and common-sense.
