Her research focuses on the way physical activity has a positive effect on cancer treatment and recovery, and how it can actually help prevent the disease. Through her research, Dr. Brunet wants to demonstrate that physical activity is an effective therapy that can complement conventional medicine. Her current research is focused on the factors that hinder physical activity among people with cancer so she can determine what type of intervention people need to become more active after cancer treatment. Dr. Brunet hopes her work will lead to increased allocation of resources for physical activity in health care, resulting in improved health and well-being of cancer survivors in Ontario.
