Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical exercise intervention programs show beneficial effects in early stage cancer patients during and after treatment. There is also growing evidence that physical exercise is safe and feasible for advanced cancer patients but knowledge is limited. Areas covered: This review provides an overview of randomized controlled exercise trials implemented in palliative care settings with advanced cancer patients. A comprehensive literature search was carried out in PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library. Six articles providing data of 590 patients met the predefined inclusion criteria. Mainly resistance exercise was applied and duration of interventions was between 8 and 16 weeks. Expert commentary: Beneficial effects for exercise patients were reported for both physical and psychological outcomes. However, general exercise recommendation for patients undergoing palliative treatment cannot be derived from the six analyzed studies. This is due to large heterogeneity of the applied exercise programs, included patient groups and performed assessment methods.

接受姑息治疗的晚期癌症患者的体育锻炼

摘要:体育锻炼干预方案在早期癌症患者治疗期间和治疗后显示出有益的效果。也有越来越多的证据表明，体育锻炼对晚期癌症患者来说是安全可行的，但知识有限。涵盖领域:本综述概述了在晚期癌症患者姑息治疗环境中实施的随机对照运动试验。在PubMed (MEDLINE)、CINAHL和Cochrane图书馆进行了全面的文献检索。提供590例患者数据的6篇文章符合预定义的纳入标准。以抗阻运动为主，干预时间8 ~ 16周。专家评论:据报道，运动对患者的身体和心理结果都有有益的影响。然而，对接受姑息治疗的患者的一般运动建议不能从这六项分析研究中得出。这是由于应用的运动项目，包括患者群体和执行的评估方法存在很大的异质性。
