“…The majority (22 studies) had an intervention group and a control group, in which no physical activity or other treatment was prescribed. Four studies provided an intervention for the comparison group (25,30,35,42).…”

“…In the 14 studies that commented on adverse events, 12 indicated that no harm was observed as a result of physical activity during or after cancer treatment. McNeely et al (35) reported that one participant who was nearing the completion of radiation therapy complained of nausea during one activity session, with no further difficulties in participation. Courneya et al (23) reported similar overall rates of adverse events between groups of breast cancer survivors, but the rate of lymphedema in the physical activity group was borderline significantly higher.…”

Background: Approximately 9.8 million cancer survivors are alive in the United States today. Enthusiasm for prescribing physical activity for cancer survivors depends on evidence regarding whether physical activity during or after completion of treatment results in improved outcomes such as cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, symptoms, quality of life, mental health, or change in body size. Methods: A systematic qualitative and quantitative review of the English language scientific literature identified controlled trials of physical activity interventions in cancer survivors during and after treatment. Data from 32 studies were abstracted, weighted mean effect sizes (WMES) were calculated from the 22 high-quality studies, and a systematic level of evidence criteria was applied to evaluate 25 outcomes. Results: There was qualitative and quantitative evidence of a small to moderate effect of physical activity interventions

“…22,[42][43][44][45][46] One study examining the effects of resistance exercise in preventing skeletal muscle atrophy of bone marrow transplant recipients receiving total parenteral nutrition found that exercise induced a muscle protein-sparing effect. 22 Study results may have been confounded by variations in baseline arm muscle area and nutrition protocols.…”

Muscle Strength, Body Composition, and Physical Activity in Women Receiving Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

There is evidence to suggest that treatment of breast cancer with chemotherapy can induce metabolic changes in skeletal muscle. Women undergoing treatment for breast cancer with certain chemotherapeutic agents can experience declines in lean body mass and muscle strength and a subsequent increase in body weight. These alterations not only can lead to declines in physical function but also predispose women to weight-related chronic illness. Excess body weight may also play a role in the development or recurrence of breast cancer. There is evidence that physical exercise may improve body composition and enhance muscular endurance, flexibility, and quality of life (QOL) in women with breast cancer. While studies of aerobic, resistance, and combinations of aerobic and resistance exercise for women with breast cancer have been conducted, most studies employed supervised aerobic exercise sessions. Few studies have examined the role of resistance exercise or the combination of resistance and aerobic exercise in maintaining or increasing muscle strength while preserving lean body mass in this population. The relatively small sample sizes and short duration of physical activity interventions in previous studies make it difficult to detect dose responses to exercise training. Physical activity interventions with larger sample sizes and of longer duration are necessary to achieve longterm health outcomes. Physical activity interventions that include the older or more obese women with breast cancer are also needed, as this population may be most at risk of functional decline and the development of chronic illness. Interventions appropriate for women treated for breast cancer who have comorbid disease are also needed. Newer, more intense chemotherapy regimens may induce a differential effect on muscle strength and body composition. However, the role of physical activity during dose-dense chemotherapy protocols has not been established. Keywords: breast cancer; muscle strength; body composition; physical activityThe role of exercise and physical activity in cancer prevention, recovery, and rehabilitation has been the focus of much recent literature. In terms of cancer prevention, physical activity and exercise have been touted as part of a healthy lifestyle that can reduce the incidence of obesity-related chronic illnesses, cancer, and cancer recurrence. However, the mechanism by which physical activity or exercise exerts its effect and the amount of activity necessary remains unknown. There is evidence that physical exercise may improve body composition and enhance muscular endurance, flexibility, and quality of life (QOL) in women with breast cancer. However, most studies of exercise and cancer survivorship have been limited by small sample sizes, similar cancer disease stages, the use of single-modality exercise regimens, and limited duration of follow-up. Investigations of breast cancer disease and treatment side effects on muscle strength and body composition have been limited. The purpose of this article is to examine t...

“…A Cochrane review of randomized trials of very low risk of bias on exercise interventions for shoulder dysfunction in patients with head and neck cancer reported that the pooled data of included trails demonstrated that progressive resisted training improves shoulder pain, shoulder disability and active range of motion in comparison with standard care [53,54].…”
