Article Synopsis
- * Twenty-two women aged around 64 were divided into two groups and participated in training sessions three times a week, with various strength metrics evaluated.
- * While there were no significant changes in body composition or metabolic risk, both training methods significantly improved relative strength and lean body mass, suggesting they are effective for enhancing strength in elderly women.

Rev Bras Ginecol Obstet
May 2023
Objective: Evaluate the effect of combined training on body image (BI), body composition and functional capacity in patients with breast cancer. As also the relationship of BI with body composition and functional capacity.
Methods: This was a Controlled Clinical Trial study, this study including 26 patients with breast cancer (30 to 59 years).
The use of guarana (Paullinia cupana) as a dietary supplement for fatigue in cancer patients: a systematic review with a meta-analysis.

December 2021
Objective: The objective of the present study was to carry out a systematic review with a meta-analysis to assess evidence about the use of guarana fruit to manage fatigue in cancer patients.
Methodology: The data were extracted from the EMBASE, Scopus, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL databases, in any language, using the descriptors "neoplasms" and "Paullinia" or "guarana powder" and "placebos" and "fatigue". Searches were also conducted to identify any grey literature.
Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is defined as a distressing, persistent, and subjective sense of physical or emotional and/or cognitive exhaustion. The treatment of CRF includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies; dietary strategies with promising results have also been used. This study aimed to identify dietary supplements that improve fatigue in patients with breast cancer.

Methods: A controlled pilot study with 28 patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and clinical observation in a renowned cancer treatment center; the patients were aged from 30 to 59 years old and were not engaged in physical training for three months previously. The Study Group (SG) underwent 12 weeks of training, including three 60-min sessions of aerobic exercise and resistance training, and two sessions of flexibility training per week; each flexibility exercise lasted 20 s and was performed in sets of three repetitions.
