Repeated Measures Models Applied to Cancer Patients Treated with Exergames.

Objective: The objective of this study was to define an appropriate linear model to analyse data on muscular fatigue in cancer patients over time through repeated measures techniques. Methods: Using the split plot in time system and linear mixed models, three groups of individuals were compared as to the methods used to reduce muscle fatigue. Group Cancer consisted of individuals who had already been treated; group Control consisted of healthy individuals and group Chemo / radio-therapy consisted of individuals diagnosed with cancer undergoing chemo and radiation therapy.
