TL;DR: In conclusion, exercise, and particularly supervised exercise, effectively improves QoL and PF in patients with cancer with different demographic and clinical characteristics during and following treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerometry and physical activity questionnaires - a systematic review
Stephanie Skender,Jennifer Ose,Jenny Chang-Claude,Michael Paskow,Boris Brühmann,Erin M. Siegel,Karen Steindorf,Cornelia M. Ulrich +7 more
TL;DR: It is advised that studies use both questionnaires and accelerometers to gain the most complete physical activity information, due to overall limited consistency, different aspects measured by each method, and differences in the dimensions studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of resistance training in cancer survivors: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: RT was shown to be associated with clinically important positive effects on muscular function and body composition in patients during treatment or in long-term follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that physical activity reduced colon cancer risk, specifically for right-sided tumors and for lean participants, but not rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of resistance exercise on fatigue and quality of life in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy: A randomized controlled trial.
Martina E. Schmidt,Joachim Wiskemann,Petra Armbrust,Andreas Schneeweiss,Cornelia M. Ulrich,Karen Steindorf +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether resistance exercise during chemotherapy provides benefits on fatigue and quality of life (QoL) beyond potential psychosocial effects of group-based interventions, and they found that resistance exercise appeared to mitigate physical fatigue and maintain QoL during chemotherapy beyond psychossocial effects inherent to supervised, groupbased settings.
