“…11,38 Therefore, it is recommended that healthcare providers anticipate such problems. Some interventions hold promise for improving fatigue, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, 39 energy conservation, activity management, 25 and exercise 40 and can now be tested in Taiwanese women with breast cancer using the validated GFS-T.…”

“…Among the non-pharmacological interventions included in the ET as a strategy for the management of fatigue, we can highlight physical exercises, energy conservation measures, behavioral intervention and sleep hygiene. Performing physical exercises presents a strong level of evidence about its effectiveness in the maintenance of the symptom, with aerobics being the most suggested (6,(17)(18) .…”

Objective: To construct and validate an educational technology (ET) on fatigue and nonpharmacological strategies for the management of this symptom in people with cancer undergoing outpatient antineoplastic chemotherapy. Method: This is a methodological study composed of three stages: 1) elaboration of the ET using the theoretical-methodological model of Doak, Doak and Root; 2) validation of content and appearance by seven nurses via the content validity index (CVI); and 3) a pilot test with 10 patients. Results: The ET "Knowing and coping with fatigue" contemplates the definition of fatigue, its causes and the interventions of physical exercise practice, sleep hygiene, energy conservation and behavioral intervention. The overall CVI obtained with the judges was 0.95. Conclusion: The ET presented content and appearance validity for health education regarding fatigue related to antineoplastic chemotherapy in outpatient cancer patients. RESUMOObjetivo: Construir e validar tecnologia educativa (TE) sobre fadiga e estratégias não farmacológicas para manejo desse sintoma em pessoas com câncer em tratamento quimioterápico antineoplásico ambulatorial. Método: Estudo metodológico composto por três etapas: 1) elaboração da TE, utilizando o modelo teórico-metodológico de Doak, Doak e Root; 2) validação de conteúdo e aparência por sete juízes enfermeiros, por meio do índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC); e 3) realização de teste piloto com 10 pacientes. Resultados: A TE "Conhecendo e lidando com a fadiga" contempla a definição de fadiga, suas causas e as intervenções de prática de exercícios físicos, higiene do sono, conservação de energia e intervenção comportamental. O IVC global obtido com os juízes foi de 0,95. Conclusão: A TE apresentou validade de conteúdo e aparência para a educação em saúde com relação à fadiga relacionada à quimioterapia antineoplásica em pacientes oncológicos ambulatoriais.

“…The fitness level of the participants varied among the different studies. In the studies by Al-Majid, Hornsby and Campbell relatively young and fit breast cancer patients were recruited [26][27][28]. While Oechsle, Dimeo and Chang recruited relatively unfit patients, with hematological cancer types and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance scores ranging from 0 to 3 [29][30][31].…”

“…Variables of endurance capacity were assessed in 17 different intervention groups (14 articles) and reported beneficial effects in 10 groups (59%). Direct measurement of VO2max, which is the gold standard for measuring endurance capacity, was assessed in five intervention groups [25,27,31,32,34], indirect measurement of VO2max was measured in two intervention groups [27,28] (Table V). The studies reported significant increases due to training, which ranged from 8% to 31%.…”

The effect of training during treatment with chemotherapy on muscle strength and endurance capacity: A systematic review

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Treatment of cancer with chemotherapy decreases endurance capacity and muscle strength. Training during chemotherapy might prevent this. There are no clear guidelines concerning which type of training and which training dose are effective. This review aims to gain insight into the different training modalities during chemotherapy and the effects of such training to improve endurance capacity and muscle strength in order to obtain the knowledge to compose a future training program which trains cancer patients in the most effective way. Material and methods A systematic search of PubMed was carried out. In total, 809 studies of randomized controlled trials studying the effects of training during chemotherapy on endurance capacity and muscle strength were considered. Only 14 studies met all the inclusion criteria. The studies were assessed on methodological quality by using Cochrane criteria for randomized controlled trials. Results The quality of the studies was generally poor and the study populations varied considerably as the training programs were very heterogeneous. Variables of endurance capacity reported beneficial effects in 10 groups (59%). Increases due to training ranged from 8% to 31%. Endurance capacity decreased in nine of 13 control groups (69%), which ranged from 1% to 32%. Muscle strength improved significantly in 17 of 18 intervention groups (94%), ranging from 2% to 38%. Muscle strength also improved in 11 of 14 control groups (79%), but this increase was only minimal, ranging from 1.3% to 6.5%. Conclusions This review indicates that training during chemotherapy may help in preventing the decrease in muscle strength and endurance capacity. It is important to know which training intensity and duration is the most effective in training cancer patients, to provide a training program suitable for every cancer patient. Training should be based on good research and should be implemented into international guidelines and daily practice. More research is needed.
