People who have been treated for cancer often have persistent fatigue, but walking or biking regularly can help increase energy, according to a British study that examined more than two thousand people. Fatigue in long-term cancer patients has been blamed both on the same type of cancer, including cancer pain, and effects of treatments such as chemotherapy.cycle wear Previous studies suggest talk therapy, nutritional counseling and acupuncture as possible remedies. But the light of moderate exercise has the advantage of being something that people can do in their free time, inexpensive or not, according to the researchers, the results published in The Cochrane Library.

"Some people will be good enough that I can go jogging or go for a bike ride, and, if possible, and" fantastic., But we want to encourage people to start with a low level. " Cramp and his colleague James Byron-Daniel collected results from 38 studies directly comparing more than 2600 people to cancer-related fatigue who did or did not go through an exercise program.

The prescribed amount of exercise varies from twice a week to daily training, with ten minutes to two hours, according to the study.
When they combined the results, the researchers found physical activity during and after cancer treatment was associated with improved energy. In particular, aerobic exercise, such as walking and cycling tends to reduce fatigue than resistance training. "What we know is that there will be a noticeable difference, the average patient will get a benefit of physical activity," said Cramp, even if the benefit varies. For example, there have been benefits of exercise for people with breast cancer and prostate cancer, but not for those with leukemia and lymphoma. "Some of the blood of patients can not tolerate reserves aerobic exercise more," said Carol Enderlin, who studied fatigue and cancer at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock. "Do not always have the capacity to carry oxygen, for example," because the disease and the treatment effect on the blood cell count.
