Why the study?

It was unclear which therapeutic exercise-based intervention is most effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy.

Does therapeutic exercise improve cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy?

Population

Patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy across 27 included studies

Comparison

Therapeutic exercise-based interventions vs usual care

Design

Systematic review and network meta-analysis

Overview

Exercise improves CRF during chemotherapy; reinforces guidelines and extends comparative data for oncology practice.

Structured PICO

Does therapeutic exercise improve cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy?

P
Population
Patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy (27 studies included)
I
Intervention
Therapeutic exercise-based interventions (moderate- to high-intensity aerobic training, with or without resistance training)
C
Comparator
Usual care
O
Outcome
Cardiorespiratory fitness (peak oxygen consumption) at postintervention assessmentsurrogate

Moderate- to high-intensity aerobic exercise, with or without resistance training, improves short-term cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy.
