A significant negative association was found between aerobic exercise intensity and fatigue reduction .
A peak effect was found for moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for improving walking endurance .
No dose-response relationship was found between exercise and markers of inflammation or exercise duration and outcomes .
Rates of adherence were typically high and few adverse events were reported .
Exercise is safe , reduces fatigue and increases endurance in cancer survivors .
QUESTION Is there a dose-response effect of exercise on inflammation , fatigue and activity in cancer survivors ?
Exercise intervention for fatigue-related symptoms in Thai women with breast cancer: A pilot study.
The purpose of this pilot study was to preliminarily examine the effects of an exercise program on the symptoms of fatigue , sleep disturbance , mood disturbance , symptom distress , and physical fitness for Thai women with breast cancer . Twenty-three eligible women were r and omly assigned to either an experimental group ( n = 11 ) or to a control group ( n = 12 ) . Data were collected and analyzed at baseline and again at 4 , 7 , and 10 weeks . At each time point , fatigue was measured at an expected high point during treatment . Participants in the exercise group demonstrated a trend toward improving the symptoms with mean score changes . Using generalized estimating equations analysis , a significant decrease in mood disturbance was found in the exercise group compared with control at 10 weeks ( β = 0.03 , P = 0.04 ) . The participants exhibited significantly longer 12-minute walk distance at 10 weeks than those in the control group ( t = 2.28 , P = 0.04 ) . These results indicate that exercise during adjuvant chemotherapy may be beneficial for Thai women with breast cancer
