Developing Agency: The Role of a Structured Exercise Regime

Rūdolfs Cešeiko leads the Exercise Oncology Clinic in Riga, Latvia, where he works with people during and after cancer treatment. His work combines research with individually adapted exercise, including strength and aerobic training. His research has examined strength training during breast cancer treatment.

His connection to this work is personal. At 22, while pursuing athletics and studying business management, he was diagnosed with cancer. That experience changed his direction and led him to study occupational therapy, followed by a career in exercise physiology and research. He brings both professional knowledge and the experience of having been a patient himself.
