Effects of exercise prehabilitation on functional capacity and health-related q...

Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients submitted to radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT) have to deal with various physical and psychosocial problems related to cancer and its treatment, which negatively affect functional capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Thus, the aim of this work was to analyse the impact of an exercise prehabilitation (EP) program on the functional capacity and HRQoL in HNC patien...

Effects of a physical exercise program on quality of life and physical fitness ...

To assess the effects of a group class physical exercise program on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), physical fitness and activity, and safety in early breast cancer women after treatment, a double phase trial [16-week control phase (CP) followed by a 16-week intervention phase (IP)] was designed. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline (T1), 8 (T2) and 16 (T3) weeks (CP), and 24 (T4) and 32 (T5) weeks (IP)....

Effects of exercise on cardiac function outcomes in women receiving anthracycli...

Background: we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy of exercise training on cardiac function and circulating biomarkers outcomes among women with breast cancer (BC) receiving anthracycline or trastuzumabcontaining therapy. Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus were searched. The primary outcome was change o...

Impact of exercise training on cardiotoxicity and cardiac health outcomes in wo...

Anthracyclines are chemotherapeutic agents frequently used in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Although it improves disease-free and overall survival, the use of anthracyclines is associated with a cumulative risk of cardiac toxicity. Preventive strategies to optimize cardiac health are needed and exercise is proposed as a potential non-pharmacological approach for counteracting anthracycline-related cardiotoxicit...

Effects of physical exercise on outcomes of cardiac (dys)function in women with...

Cardiotoxicity is a known complication and one of the most adverse effects from the use of conventional treatments such as anthracyclines and trastuzumab in breast cancer (BC) care. This phenomenon has been associated with the restriction of therapeutic options and the increase of cardiovascular complications, which may compromise the survival of patients. Implementation of preventive strategies is an important...
