Abstract: Within the frame of the rehabilitation a purposeful activity in sports plays a more and more increasing role. This becomes evident by the increasing number of specific sports groups (heart- and circulation, diabetics, cancer and AIDS). Evidences of an immune stimulating effect provide animal experiments in which the behaviour of tumours with respect to growth and formation of metastases can be influenced by physical training. The period of time as well as the intensity of the exercise and the time at which it is performed (pre-training) being important. Since in man the psyche is influenced by activity in sports (eustress) the immune system can be stabilized through psychoneurological pathways. Therefore, many findings support from the psychoneuroimmunological point of view the use of a purposeful activity in sports within the frame of the rehabilitation of cancer patients.
