“…Related studies have been carried out [13][14][15]. However such studies have some deficiencies such as a singular method of exercise intervention and exercise guidance [16][17][18][19]. Therefore, due to the limitations of previous studies, we aimed to investigate the effects of the CEIBISMS on QOL, muscle strength and cardiorespiratory capacity in postoperative BC patients in China.…”

Background: Breast cancer (BC) patients who undergo surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy have limitations on physical activity which will lead to a decreased quality of life and poor physical fitness level. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the combined exercise intervention based on internet and social media software (CEIBISMS) on postoperative breast cancer patients by evaluating their quality of life, muscle strength and cardiorespiratory capacity. Methods: This study was a randomized control trial with an intervention period of 12 weeks. Sixty participants (30 in each group, 42-60 years old, female) were recruited through an outpatient department. Procedure of exercise in the intervention group included: via phone step-recording app, ask the individuals to complete the target number of steps within a specified period of exercise, four times per week; face-to-face remote video instruction of individuals on muscle training, three times per week; via social media apps daily push common knowledge of physical exercise BC rehabilitation. The control group received traditional treatment and rehabilitation according to daily specifications of the hospital. The primary outcome was quality of life and the secondary outcomes were muscle strength and cardiorespiratory capacity. Results: Experiments using a Short Form 36 showed that the CEIBISMS yielded significantly better results than traditional methods, in vitality (p = 0.009), mental health (p = 0.001) and reported health transition (p = 0.048) by week 12. The CEIBISMS resulted in significant improvement in the stand-up and sit-down chair test (p < 0.0001), arm lifting test (p = 0.017). Conclusion: The CEIBISMS offered rehabilitative effects in quality of life (QOL) and muscle strength of postoperative patients with breast cancer (BC) in China.

“…Among the 15 RCTs included, 12 studies (80%) [ 12 , 14 – 16 , 18 , 19 , 21 – 26 ] reported adequate random sequence generation, and 9 studies (60%) [ 12 , 14 – 16 , 18 , 19 , 22 – 24 ] reported the use of allocation concealment methods. Only one study [ 12 ] reported blinding of participants and outcome assessment, probably because mind-body exercise could be difficult to implement the methods of blinding since it is a nonpharmaceutical therapy.…”

A total of 12 studies (80%) [ 14 – 19 , 21 – 24 , 26 ] had complete outcome data. One study [ 19 ] was judged to have a high risk of selective reporting biases, and two studies [ 16 , 17 ] had a high risk of other bias.…”

Objective. Mind-body exercise may have potential benefits for cancer survivors according to previous studies. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the published evidence and evaluate the safety and efficacy of mind-body exercise on general quality of life (QOL) and symptom management in cancer survivors. Methods. Four English language databases were systematically searched for existing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of mind-body exercise in cancer survivors from database inception through October 23, 2019. Methodological quality was appraised with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. A meta-analysis of comparative effects was performed using the Review Manager v.5.3 software. Results. Fifteen studies encompassing 1461 patients were included. Analysis results showed that mind-body exercise could have a statistically significant effect on the outcomes of physical fitness, fatigue, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and BMI, while effects on general QOL and stress were not statistically significant (all p>0.05). No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions. The current evidence demonstrates that mind-body exercise is relatively safe and modestly effective for symptom management in cancer survivors. Furthermore, randomized trials with larger sample sizes and of higher methodological quality are needed to confirm these results.

“…This finding in consistent with Reis et al 24 , who with combined training interventions demonstrated that despite reduction in pain, improvement in flexibility and strength, there was no improvement in fatigue in women with breast cancer. Jong et al 25 investigated the effect of yoga on the fatigue of patients undergoing chemotherapy and found no significant results. However, there is evidence in literature showing the effectiveness of physical activity and physical exercise for women undergoing treatment and after treatment for breast cancer 10 , for example resistance exercise, which proved to be a possibility to reduce fatigue and maintain quality of life during chemotherapy treatment 26 .…”

Breast cancer is the most frequent in women, resulting in fatigue and depressive symptoms as consequence of treatment, but physical activity can help in this process. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between fatigue, depressive symptoms and practice of physical activity of women with breast cancer during treatment or after cancer treatment. This is a cross-sectional study with 179 women (56.89 ± 9.4 years) from the Oncology Research Center - CEPON, using questionnaire on general and clinical information, fatigue (Piper Fatigue Scale) depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory) and physical activity (IPAQ - short version). Women with moderate to severe fatigue underwent physiotherapy (p = 0.001) and women with no fatigue had minimum depressive symptoms (p ?0.001). Level of physical activity was not associated with fatigue, with most women being insufficiently active and women with mild fatigue had longer walking time than those without fatigue (p = 0.049). Women with depressive symptoms were almost three times more likely of having mild to severe fatigue and those who underwent physiotherapy were twice as likely of having mild to severe fatigue. Women with fatigue had greater presence of depressive symptoms. Professionals working in the field of oncology should recommend the practice of physical activity in order to minimize the side effects of treatment and observe depressive symptoms and fatigue in these women.
