Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy provides curative treatment to more than 95% of patients with testicular germ cell tumor but it has negative cardiometabolic and neurological effects. Regular exercise can alleviate late chemotherapy-related toxicities. We examined the impact of a 6-month supervised aerobic-strength training on cognitive and cardiometabolic health and residual level of platinum in cancer survivors.

Improved glucose metabolism as well as exerkines, bioactive molecules released into circulation with each exercise bout, contribute to the synchronized exercise‐induced adaptive response at a systemic level. Our aim was to assess effects of exercise on clinical state and molecular changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood of patients with PD.

Evidence indicates that physical exercise has a potential to reduce chemotherapy‐related toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess effects of a 6‐month aerobic‐strength training on cognitive functions, metabolic flexibility, anthropometric parameters and physical fitness in testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) survivors, treated with platinum‐based chemotherapy.
