Freediving record holder Guillermo Gallo del Val gives a relaxation workshop to cancer patients at the UJI

The Chair has organized the first two days of June the theoretical-practical workshop ‘Relaxation techniques through breathing and apnea’, in which the participants have learned to know their own breathing. In addition, they have practiced various techniques and exercises that are used in apnea and can be useful for managing emotions on a day-to-day basis, as well as for coping with stressful situations related to their illness and cancer treatments.

The workshop was held at the sports facilities of the UJI Sports Service and was attended by 48 women from the province of Castellón, who participate in the project ‘Benefits of physical activity in breast cancer’ (BAFC) , the university has indicated in a statement.

The UJI’s ‘José Soriano Ramos Foundation’ Chair of Physical Activity and Oncology programs various activities throughout the year related to sports practice and physical exercise, with the aim of improving the quality of life of these patients.
