For the functional capacity and medical care parameters , preoperative combined aerobic , resistance , and inspiratory muscle training was shown to be effective if comprising one to four weeks , performing 1 - 3 sessions per week , with moderate intensity ( 50 % for endurance capacity ) .
Preoperative physical exercise protocol s prior to cancer surgery increased in popularity over recent years ; however , the beneficial effect of such protocol s is not well established , with conflicting results reported .
We conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) to assess the effects of different modalities or combinations of preoperative exercise interventions and /or prehabilitation multicomponent training in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) after surgery on the outcomes related to functional capacity , mental wellness and medical care .
Effect of walking on circadian rhythms and sleep quality of patients with lung cancer: a randomised controlled trial
Background : Sleep disturbances and poor rest-activity rhythms , which can reduce the quality of life , are highly prevalent among patients with lung cancer . Methods : This trial investigated the effects of a 12-week exercise intervention including home-based walking exercise training and weekly exercise counseling on 111 lung cancer patients . Participants were r and omly allocated to receive the intervention or usual-care . Outcomes included objective sleep ( total sleep time , TST ; sleep efficiency , SE ; sleep onset latency , SOL ; and wake after sleep onset , WASO ) , subjective sleep ( Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index , PSQI ) , and rest-activity rhythms ( r24 and I < O ) . Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 3 and 6 months after intervention . Results : The PSQI ( Wald χ2=15.16 , P=0.001 ) and TST ( Wald χ2=7.59 , P=0.023 ) of the patients in the exercise group significantly improved 3 and 6 months after intervention . The moderating effect of I < O on TST was significant ( β of group × I < O=3.70 , P=0.032 ) . Conclusions : The walking program is an effective intervention for improving the subjective and objective sleep quality of lung cancer patients and can be considered an optional component of lung cancer rehabilitation
