Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review evaluates how different types of resistance exercise, alone or combined with other exercises, influence physical fitness, quality of life, and fatigue in cancer patients, finding significant benefits for physical fitness and quality of life.
  • A total of 48 studies involving 3,843 participants show that resistance exercise has positive effects on physical fitness and quality of life across various cancers, although its impact on reducing fatigue remains uncertain.
  • The review highlights that resistance exercises, whether combined with aerobic or other forms of exercise, generally contribute to improved physical fitness and quality of life, but more research is needed to clarify their role in alleviating fatigue in cancer patients.]
