So you're doing more vigorous types of exercise.

You're going above that 70, 75%.

You're going to 80% max heart rate.

Would you continue to see decreases in cancer risk in that?

I mean, is there a limit?

Like, does it

Okay.

So really, it's better to be on the higher end of the recommendations, whether that's, you know, the moderate intensity exercise 300 minutes a week or vigorous intensity, the higher end being, what, 150 minutes?

That's right.

Okay.

It seems as though people that, let's say, do have a family history of cancer experience

would really benefit from knowing this information as well as their physicians that they speak with because you would imagine someone with a family history would want to hit the top end of that recommendation, right?

And not the minimum.

So you often only hear the minimum when hearing recommendations, which...

I think that's kind of a problem, to be honest.

I think we should be talking about more of the upper end, especially if you're getting a dose response and people really do want to get and maximize their benefits that they're going to get from exercise.

For someone who is exercising and has been and say they still come down with cancer...

Is there any preemptive benefits they get?

So in other words, like, does the fact that they've been, let's say, exercising for decades before their cancer diagnosis, does that seem to change the trajectory of their outcome at all?

Like, do they have a benefit?
