The World Health Organisation recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week or 75 minutes per week of high-intensity exercise. Depending on the condition, these norms may vary for people struggling with cancer. It all depends on the stage of treatment, the wellbeing of the sufferer and the baseline physical condition.
