Acute natural killer cells response to a continuous moderate intensity and a work-matched high intensity interval exercise session in metastatic cancer patients treated with chemotherapy.

Background: It has been suggested that the acute natural killer (NK) cell response to aerobic exercise might contribute to the tumor suppressor effect of regular exercise observed in preclinical studies. Moreover, because this response is modulated by exercise intensity, high-intensity intervals exercise (HIIE) might represent an interesting therapeutic approach in cancer patients. However, this immune response remains unstudied in cancer patients currently undergoing chemotherapy.

The Mechanisms Underlying the Beneficial Impact of Aerobic Training on Cancer-Related Fatigue: A Conceptual Review.

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a prevalent and persistent issue affecting cancer patients, with a broad impact on their quality of life even years after treatment completion. The precise mechanisms underlying CRF remain elusive, yet its multifaceted nature involves emotional, physical, and cognitive dimensions. The absence of effective medical treatments has prompted researchers to explore integrative models for potential insights.

Effect of Glycerol-Induced Hyperhydration on a 5-kilometer Running Time-Trial Performance in the Heat in Recreationally Active Individuals.

Maximal oxygen consumption (V˙O) is a major determinant of 5-km running time-trial (TT) performance. Glycerol-induced hyperhydration (GIH) could improve V˙O in recreationally active persons through an optimal increase in plasma volume. Moreover, ingestion of a large bolus of cold fluid before exercise could decrease thermal stress during exercise, potentially contributing to improved performance.

Feasibility of an Intradialytic Combined Exercise Program Targeting Older Adults With End-Stage Renal Disease.

Unlabelled: Intradialytic exercise is feasible and yields substantial clinical benefits in middle-aged patients. However, evidence is scarce in older hemodialysis patients.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and clinical benefits of supervised, intradialytic exercise in older patients.

Effects of a mixed exercise program on cancer related-fatigue and health-related quality of life in oncogeriatric patients: A feasibility study.

Objectives: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most debilitating side effect occurring with cancer treatment accumulation. Although combining aerobic and resistance exercise is an effective strategy to counteract this side effect, there is a paucity of studies performed with older patients even if this is the most affected population. Hence, the objective was to assess the feasibility and the impact of a twelve-week exercise program performed during cancer treatment on CRF, quality of life, and physical capacity in older adults diagnosed with early-stage cancer.

Effects of combined exercise training on the inflammatory profile of older cancer patients treated with systemic therapy.

Unlabelled: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a major issue in older cancer patients as it is associated with functional decline and a lower quality of life, and an increased inflammatory activity during cancer therapy is suspected to play a key role in CRF etiology. Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training is known to reduce CRF, and this could be mediated by a protective effect against this increased inflammatory activity. Hence, the main objective was to measure the effect of a 12-week combined exercise training on the inflammatory profile of older cancer patients undergoing systemic therapy.

Effect of a mixed-exercise program on physical capacity and sedentary behavior in older adults during cancer treatments.

Background: Aging, cancer and its treatment all contribute to increase the risk of deconditioning and sedentary behaviors. Mixed exercise is recognized to counteract the effects of aging and deconditioning as well as improving physical capacity during cancer treatment in adults.

Aims: To determine the impact of a mixed exercise program (MXEP) to improve physical capacity and decrease sedentary behavior time (SBT) in older adults during cancer treatment.
