Answer 1

The option that is NOT part of the generalized exercise prescription recommendation for a cancer patient/survivor is to limit aerobic exercise frequency to 2-3 days per week until cured.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option that is NOT part of the generalized exercise prescription recommendation for a cancer patient/survivor is d. limit aerobic exercise frequency to 2-3 days per week until cured. The recommendation for cancer patients/survivors is to engage in aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) to 300 minutes (5 hours) per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) to 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both.
