The randomized controlled trial "Physical Activity in Pediatric Cancer" determined the effects of an inhospital exercise intervention combining aerobic and muscle strength training on pediatric cancer patients with solid tumors undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Participants were allocated to (n = 24, 17 boys; mean ± SEM age, 10 1 yr) or control group 25, 18 11 yr). Training included three sessions per week for 19 2 wk. Participants assessed at treatment initiation, termination, months...
Background Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) often have to be hospitalized because of acute exacerbation their respiratory symptoms. Given the fact that improved peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) is positively associated lung function and overall health in children CF, this study examined association between VO2peak need for hospitalization a cohort pediatric CF patients. Methods In 3-year study, 77 mild-to-moderately severe (forced expiratory volume 1 sec [FEV1] ≥ 50%) underwent maximal...
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the effects an 8-week (aerobic+strength) exercise training program (3 sessions/week) on circulating cytokine levels breast cancer survivors. We randomly allocated 16 female survivors (mean±SD age: 50±5 years) intervention or usual care (control) group (N=8 in each group). followed consisting 3 sessions/week (session duration: 90 min). measured following cytokines before and after intervention: beta-NGF, CTACK, eotaxin, FGF...
Regular physical activity (PA) decreases mortality risk in survivors of breast and colorectal cancer. Such impacts exercise have prompted initiatives designed both to promote adequately monitor PA cancer survivors. This study examines the validity 2 widely used self-report methods for determination, International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version (IPAQ-SF) Global (GPAQ). Both instruments were compared with triaxial accelerometry (Actigraph) method as an objective reference...
The Lys(K)153Arg(R) polymorphism in exon 2 (rs1805086, 2379 A>G replacement) of the myostatin (MSTN) gene is a candidate to influence skeletal muscle phenotypes. We examined association between MSTN K153R and 'explosive' leg power, assessed during sprint (30 m) stationary jumping tests [squat (SJ) counter-movement jumps (CMJ)] non-athletic young adults (University students) [n = 281 (214 men); age: 21-32 years]. also genotyped exonic variants E164K (rs35781413), I225T, P198A, yet no subject...
Childhood cancer patients are at risk of developing important adverse effects, mortality and disease relapse after treatments, which has a substantial economic impact on healthcare systems. The objective this study was to determine the effects supervised inhospital exercise clinical endpoints during childhood treatment. 169 children with new diagnosis were divided into an intervention (n = 68, 11 ± 4 years) or control group 101, 3 years). cohort followed up from start treatment for five...
