“…Finally, Courneya 37 reported a significant improvement in fitness. Two recent uncontrolled trials showed post-training improvements in the endurance capacity during cycle-ergometry exercise of adults with acute myeloid leukemia 34 or with various types of hematological cancer receiving aggressive chemotherapy. 50 A recent pilot trial did not show exercise caused problems in patients with median platelet count and hemoglobin levels of 27 000 per ml and 9.2 g/100 ml.…”

“…Seven publications from six studies [34][35][36][37][38]50,51 assessed the effects of exercise interventions on a range of outcomes. Three publications from two studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying a large (n ¼ 122) 37,38 or small population sample (n ¼ 22), 36 and five publications were of high quality.…”

“…Liu et al 33 recently performed a systematic review on exercise interventions conducted in hematological cancer patients, including studies published up to September 2007. This area of research is growing considerably and several intervention studies in adult/children survivors of hematological cancer have been recently published in adults [34][35][36][37][38][39][40] and in children 28,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47] that were not included in the review by Liu et al 33 Here, we summarize the intervention data related to all the possible effects of physical activity on adult and pediatric hematological cancer survivors. The information is also detailed extensively in Supplementary Material.…”

Exercise in adult and pediatric hematological cancer survivors: an intervention review

Observational research has shown that the physical activity levels of survivors of hematological cancer are low, with deleterious health consequences. This review summarizes the research on exercise interventions in adult and pediatric hematological cancer survivors. We searched MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane and PEDro through September 2009 for exercise intervention studies in children and adults with any type of hematological cancer. In the 24 adult intervention studies reviewed, we found strong evidence (that is, X3 high-quality studies and X75% reporting a significant benefit) for a benefit on body composition. Weak, but promising, evidence (X3 high-quality studies, but o75% reporting a significant benefit) was found for cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, muscle strength, physical functioning and quality of life. In pediatric interventions (13 studies), we found strong evidence for a benefit on muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness, particularly, if training was conducted in the hospital setting. Evidence is weak for ankle dorsiflexion, physical functioning and body composition. No exerciserelated risks were identified in adults or children studies. Though more randomized controlled trials are needed, a growing body of literature supports the notion that regular physical activity is safe and has potential benefits for both adult and pediatric hematological cancer survivors.

“…These alone could argue for the widespread implementation of this procedure, but with the potential cost savings, it is extremely difficult to see why there has not already been a very large-scale randomized study conducted to examine the true feasibility of this intervention. The exercise intervention for patients hospitalized for BMTs is based on a smaller and older study; however, as the recent study by Battaglini et al 11 in Integrative Cancer Therapies shows, this is still an active area of research. This also represents an obvious intervention to evaluate in larger randomized studies.…”

“…In cancer survivor populations, studies have found that higher levels of physical activity are associated with fewer depressive symptoms (Humpel & Iverson, 2007;Yeter et al, 2006) and lower levels of anxiety (Stevinson et al, 2009a). The evidence shows positive outcomes for depression and anxiety following a range of physical activity programmes in breast, lung, hematalogic, prostate and gynaecologic cancer survivors (Battaglini et al, 2009;Culos-Reed et al, 2006;Fong et al, 2012;Oldervoll et al, 2006;Schmitz, 2011).…”

It is widely accepted that physical activity is important for physical functioning and well-being, and as such the promotion of active lifestyles is becoming increasingly significant in public health policy both in the UK and worldwide. Sedentary lifestyles have been associated with increased risk of obesity and preventable disease including diabetes, coronary heart disease and some cancers. With regards cancer specifically, this chapter will provide a brief overview on current opinions on the link between physical activity and cancer prevention.The published evidence focuses both on primary and secondary prevention. More recent evidence has investigated the use of physical activity in secondary prevention for those who have been diagnosed with cancer and proposed a link between physical activity, morbidity and mortality in those with cancer. The evidence-base for secondary prevention is more limited. Nevertheless, studies to date have indicated that physical activity can improve both physical functioning and psychological outcomes in cancer survivors, and significantly improve quality of life.The exact nature of those interventions which confer the most positive effects is less well-established, and there is a current lack of consensus on the most appropriate type, intensity and duration of activity for people with cancer. It has not yet been wellestablished as to which stage of the treatment programme physical activity should be encouraged (during or following treatment) or the most appropriate length of time during which structured physical activity interventions should be delivered to achieve beneficial results.These factors will be discussed in this chapter, and barriers to engaging in physical activity for those with a diagnosis of cancer will be considered. The chapter will conclude with a summary of key findings and the potential for further research.
